Hello everyone! My name is Tyler. I joined this forum about a year ago because i was intrested in straight shaving. The only problem was, i still had not developed enough facial hair to shave with a SR. I come to you now a year later, still intrested in the world of SR's. I have now grown sufficent hair on my face to where i have to shave almost every day. I am almost 17 so i am still very young. My question to you is, Where to start? I am currently un-employed so i only make money by doing yard work and helping around the house. I have a tight budget, but would still love to start somewhere. I already know about how to shave and what to use. I have researched alot already. I am going to my local antique store soon to get a few things. If not for use, then at least collection. I am trying to get my hands on a badger hair brush. The only thing is, If i buy one from the antique store, can i use it? How do i go about cleaning or restoring the brush so it is sanitary and ok for use? Also i might get a SR or a DE. There are some pretty good ones at the store for $20. The blades are very nice. But I need to know how i can go about restoring it and all. I need a nice beginer strope too. Im not so sure about honing though. how do i learn? Basicly I need your help to get me going! Thank you all in advance!
