Thread: Intro and questions

Welcome to SRP Sweeny. When Robin said that it took him awhile to get there that is typical of our collective experience. So don't expect to get stellar shaves immediately. Getting through the learning curve takes longer for some than for others but once you've done it there is usually no question that the straight is the way to go.

I don't have the 5 O'clock shadow issues or the skin issues on the neck but if I'm not mistaken you would be better off with a stiffer grind than a full hollow. Something like a Le Grolet or a TI Super Gnome. Some vendors sell the Super Gnome labeled as the Super Coiffeur but it is the same razor. I can't recall off the top of my head who is from Australia but I know that we do have some members from your neck of the woods. Maybe one or more will be along and contribute to this thread with some resources closer to home for you.
