Thread: New Guy

Hi All,

I’ve been wet shaving for ~ 10-12 years, albeit with a Gillette Sensor. Then, about a month ago I joined up across the street at TSD and started with a DE SR. Well, last week while walking through an antique store, I came across the str8 below. It was fairly clean already, and at only $7, I couldn’t pass it up. I cleaned it up some for the photo, may do a little more to it if I can find the proper polishing compound. I figure I’ll continue to work on my DE technique, and slowly get myself ready to try the str8. I’ll continue to lurk and start to ask questions here, and slowly acquire what I need ( which I think at this point is just getting the razor professionally honed and picking up a decent strop). I’ve seen this site recommended several times, and look forward to an education and participating where I can.
