Newbie from Missouri
Hi folks, I'm looking to get into shaving with a straight razor. I'm a long time brush and soap user, approx. 40 years, but (cringe) I've been using a Bic.
The brush I have was my father's and says Plastiset 600N Nylon Rubberset Made in the USA. Clear handle, nickel-like ring and obviously nylon bristles. I may upgrade but it works for me.
Anyway, I'm in here to learn about razors, honing and stropping. Oh yeah, and how to use a straight without bleeding to death.
Thanks for having me,
Stumo

Welcome to SRP! What part of the great state are you in, you're probably not far from a friend!

nun2sharp, I'm near a small town called Defiance which is just west of St. Louis. Seems to be a fair number of Missourians on here.
Take care,
stumo

Having grown up in Northern Ohio, I'd take Cape over that. I was born and raised in Ashland and my wife is from just west of you on Hwy 18, Wellington.

Welcome aboard Stumo.
I agree with Lynn, sounds like another get together is in order. Maybe when Lynn gets here?

Hello and welcome Stumo and all the rest of you guys from Missouri. It would be nice for you to put your location in your profile so we can know where you are from and also put your flag in the SRP map. It looks like we will be having a MidMo get together again next spring and would like to meet a bunch of you new guys. I hope your transition to straight razor shaving is a smooth one.

Welcome.
I'm a newbie too, and I'm sure you'll find this forum as informative as I do. I can honestly say that I learn something new every day on this forum.
Have a look at the wiki to begin with, and have fun.
