    Welcome to SRP,Josh.Try to read as much info as you can from the wiki:

    Straight Razor Place Wiki:Books/Beginners Guide - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    Start with a quality razor honed by a pro.Get a decent strop,and you're on your way.It takes a while to get good at it so please have patience and don't try to do too much too soon.Good Luck!

    Welcome, and enjoy. Just remember to be patient; it's likely going to take some time before you get a good shave, and your face doesn't burn.

    Enjoy!

    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.
