I'm new to this straight shaving world and I must admit it's rather involving and addicting I might add. Granted I don't have my razor sets yet as all I've been doing is research ad nauseum and now it's just applying what I've learned.. I've not even shaved yet I'm already sucked in. I'm into cars as well but I wasn't so drawn to it the way straight shaving. I don't know how to explain it, I know it in my head I hope that makes sense :P :Beer:
I'd so many bookmarked that I decided to categorize each into a folder be it honing, stropping, shaving etc... so I can easily gain access to them when needed.
I picked up a dozen samples of soaps and test aftershave from Colleen ( thegentlemensquarter ). A razor set from SRD, and 2 used razors from classifieds. Pretty sure I would've bought more if the $30-35 ones weren't sold. Acquisition disease p3wns me :P
Anyway, I just wanted to thank each and everyone of you for the knowledge you've provided in threads as well as Wiki section not to mention the camaraderie is indescribably awesome
I look forward to getting to know each and everyone of you. :thumbup:
To you guys honemeisters, stropmeisters and everyone else I think the knowledge acquired is great way to applying methods but there's no stopping there as there's always room for improvement/advancement: one can always read and learn from others :beer:
Wish me luck.
Thanks and Godspeed
