A Very Good Day
So, this morning I received my 1st razor and strop from SRD, a Dovo 6/8 tortise shell set. I get it all unpacked and holy hell is that edge sharp. My wife takes a look at the package and smiles, because she knows I've been impatiently counting the days for it to arrive.
After wiping the oil off and stropping the blade, I decide to go all in. I read up on some of the wiki, to keep what I've learned here fresh and then head for the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, I've completed a full shave. I took a bit of time and care and my first straight razor shave was bloodless!
Thanks all for the wonderful advice and information here. Without this place, I'd probably still be using a Gillette.
Oh, I almost forgot! The best part was after my shave, SWMBO comes out and checks for damage. She feels the cheeks, the chin. Finally she looks at me and in a tone that brooks no argument says, "You're going to collect these razors, right?"

Congrats to you!
That was my first straight also and is still in my regular rotation.
And of course you are going to start collecting razors. Was there ever a question about it?
