Just figured I'd check in and say howdy. Got interested in wetshaving a month or so ago, got myself a few DE razors, and have been enjoying shaving for the first time in years. Recently, I've been getting some serious straight razor envy though, looking at all the pictures of beautiful razors. Actually I think it was seeing a picture of a Zowada that did it. The instant thought that flashed into my head was "good gods, I want one of those!". Followed by the realization that I wouldn't know what to do with it, and the determination that perhaps it's time to learn (been kicking the idea around for years anyway).

So as it is, I have a decent overall shaving kit, but nothing even vaguely straight related yet. With my wedding coming up, can't get away with spending too much more lest the missus decide to cut me off completely. So I'll troll the classifieds here and other sites till I find a shave ready deal, get myself a beginner strop, and eventually I'm sure I'll be asking a billion questions. In the meantime, just wanted to introduce myself, and thank everyone for so readily sharing the wealth of knowledge here at SRP.

Cheers!
