    Default welcome

    Helo and welcome to srp. Starting slow is the way to go, start with cheeks and then finish up with the razor you are use to, and advance to another part of the face as you get better. Remember its not a rush, enjoy and plan on reading and rereading all the info that is on this site. Feel free to ask question if you get lost but plan on reading about 2 to 4 hrs of stuff before you get a grip on it.

    Smooth shaving to you. Like all the other fellows said, take it slow and easy and you'll be fine. Here is a new post by Lynn on beginning shaving.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Congrats on a fine razor. My only advice is to be very mindful of the spike point. Just be aware of the angles and you'll be fine. Don't get fancy

    If you're coming from the DE world, that means no blade buffing, j-hooking..etc.
