    Default G'day Noob from Oz checking in...

    I've been shaving for 35 years but only discovered how to shave 6 months ago when I discovered DE's and decent soaps and badger hair brushes. Now I am ready to take the next step and I am waiting on a shave ready straight and strop to arrive in the post.

    When the goods pitch up and assuming my head is still attached I'll let you all know how I go.

    In the mean time I'll lurk and learn!!

    Cheers

    Welcome to SRP! Hope you enjoy the journey you are embarking on, I know I do. I know exactly what you mean regarding quality soap and a good brush. I can't believe how long I used that canned crap. What a waste of money!
