Hi Everyone,
I have decided to start up a Straight Shaving journal to record my progress, and to gain much needed advice along this journey.

At the moment i shave with a Mekur Progress which my Fiancee purchased for me for Christmas. I always wanted a straight razor, but always figured they would be way to hard to obtain and upkeep. I first became obsessed with straight razors after watching the movie Sweeney Todd. After I found this site I started reading all i could about them. I figured that I wouldnt know if i could do it or not unless i gave it a try. So i went to the classifieds and ordered a razor from LarryAndo (i believe his name is)
The Razor just arrived in my mailbox this afternoon and im excited to give it a try. She's a BEAUT. A J.R.Torrey razor with dark green scales.

Tomorrow morning i will have my first shave with it and i will update this to let you know how it all went!
