    Default Belated Hello...

    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to say Hi and formally introduce myself. I ended up making my first post in the workshop, and since then I have been posting here and there. I just realized that I should have done this first! Sorry!

    I have never shaved with a straight before. I transitioned to a DE last January 1st and have been obsessed with shaving ever since. I sent a 5/8ths and a 6/8ths to get professionally honed. I can't wait to start!!!

    I have been reading a lot about shaving and stropping technique late into the night, and this never gets old or boring. I have officially found my first hobby in years! Thank you all at SRP for the great advice

    Welcome to SRP! Read this thread before shaving. http://straightrazorpalace.com/newbi...tml#post267140

    Lynn has forgotten more about straight razors than most of us have learned so far. Heed his advice and you will be off to a good start...

    Thank you all for your replies. I am sure I will have tons of questions when I begin shaving! I will check out Anticipation, and the wiki more in the following days.

    Btw, does straight shaving ever get boring? I hope not, so far I have been searching about razors, soaps, AS splashes, brushes, strops, etc... for what it seems to be months, I hope it continues!

    I've been at this about 7 months now and I'm not bored yet. There's always something new to learn. And there's the ADs (Acquisition Disorders). I now have a full rotation of str8s, shave creams / soaps, and after shaves, so every day is something different. I fit my razor, lather, and AS to my mood. Welcome to SRP and enjoy!

    I think I am getting a few AD's as well. It is good to hear that this is not just a temporary thing!
