    Default Newbie from Oz

    Hey guys,

    Just introducing myself as another newbie. I've been DE shaving for the past 6-8 months and now want to step up and learn to shave with a straight.

    I'm looking forward to it, and gaining great insight and info from you guys and this forum.

    Hopefully I'll have a face left after my first try.

    G'day & Welcome Aza.
    Good luck with the first.

    Welcome to SRP, Aza.
    Do you already have a straight shaving kit assembled or still in the looking stages? As previous members have stated, certainly enjoy the wiki section, there is an immense amount of resource material there...especially take a look at the equipment to avoid.

    Thanks,

    Mac

    Thanks guys. McWolf, no I haven't assembled my kit as yet. But have been reading the Wiki page, watching video's and reading various razor reviews. I think my brain is going to explode!!

    I already have various creams and brushes from DE shaving. I'm comfortable with my current prep, however that may need some adjusting. Do you have any recommendations?

    If you are happy with your prep the only thing that will change is the actual shaver. Learning to shave with a straight is a live enhancing experience
