Introducing Fido
I've been DE shaving for about a year now. Active in one forum and member of another. Now ready to take the plunge into the straight razor world. I'm in touch with Neil Miller and he recommended you all as a very fine bunch. So here I am to read and learn and perhaps one day will have something useful to contribute - even if it is only my own disasters.
I am a blogger of some years, mainly this one:
Fido's Bell Collection
And one about shaving, just for my own means of looking back:
Fido's Shaving Blog
Glad to be aboard.Last edited by Fido; 10-27-2009 at 06:21 PM.

Welcome to SRP.
Do you have a razor and strop yet? Make sure you take a look at our excellent Beginner's Guide, if you haven't.
Straight Razor Place Wiki:Books/Beginners Guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki
I'm sure you'll find this place friendly and informative.

Many thanks. I have corrected it. Should have tested it myself. Will try harder.
I'm in consultation about razor and strop and will look at the guide.
Nice blog. I'll have a good look.Last edited by Fido; 10-27-2009 at 06:26 PM.

Welcome to SRP Fido. Any friend of Niel Miller's is a friend of mine and he knows his stuff. You'll be straight razor shaving successfully sooner than later.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
I have spent a lifetime using the knowledge of others. My strategy is to assume I am going to enjoy straight razor shaving and make a success of it. So I have asked Neil to come up with a good quality vintage straight and to make a clear recommendation of one of his good quality strops. I have found that it is often a waste of money going for beginners kit in anything. One usually quickly outgrows it and wishes one went for decent quality in the first place.
Time will tell!
