Welcome to Srp
you are in right place. Be patient . read SRP WIKI AND pay attention for beginner guides.
I am sure after couple months you will read this thread and laugh.
You can use straight razor and get a great shave . you have full control of the blade. gl and ask any questions you have.

Welcome to SRP. It may be for you if you're willing to go through the learning curve. Like hi_bud_gl said take a look at the SRP Wiki beginner's guide here and you'll have a better idea of what the process is. Best shaves I ever got in my 61 years have been with a straight.

Welcome!

I was pretty much where you are when I started with a straight razor. I has a reasonably tough beard and sensitive skin, and the M3 was giving me razor burn and ingrown hairs.

Now I use a straight razor, my skin is not irritated and the shaves are WAAAY better..! I'd definately recommend them..!

Have a read of the Wiki that Jimmy linked and make use of the search function here as well, theres loads of great advice here and if you have any questions, just ask! We're happy to help!

Good luck and keep us posted!
