Welcome to SRP, Let us know of your progress and don't be afraid to ask questions. The WIKI is an excellent knowledge base and so are the people around here.
I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. I have a bit of information of where to go for wet shaving hardware that I would be glad to post of you want it.
Welcome to SRP!
Let us know what you're using and how it's all going.
Thanks for all the welcomes. I'm using a high art straight that's all I know about it. The first shave was ok I cut myself in my troble spots ( upper lip area, chin, and the right jaw area. ( any suggestion on how to tackle these areas? (i'm left handed too if that helps any)
Mc,
I, too, am new at this, only done it 3 times, but I'm a quick study. I found that the right jaw was a problem too, mostly because the hair changes direction there. What I found is that, after having cleared the cheek, you can stretch the skin from the cheek, pulling the jaw area onto a flatter surface, then it is easier. But where you are a south paw, you might be ok, to try pulling the nape of your neck.
As for the upper lip, I am still trying to decide which way my hair grows there. I think I have it figured out, but I find oblique motions tend to do better than straight up or down ones do, plus there's less risk of loosing your nose and lip. :)
Just some suggestions from one newbie to another.
