Greetings Josh. Welcome to SRP. Glad to have you aboard!

Check the SRP wiki. It contains lots of useful information about straight razor shaving such as pre-shave preparation, stropping, shaving--and especially brands of razors to buy and those to avoid.

Of course if you have questions that can't be answered by the wiki, there are always SRP members who will be more than willing to assist you. Just place your question in the approriate forum and a member will reply.

Take care--and smooth shaving.
