    Default Hello from a Newbie

    Hi All,

    Just want to introduce myself to the board. I stumbled across this forum after joining B&B. It became pretty clear to me that I wanted to use a SR to shave after clicking around a bit. So here I am!

    I will probably put a SR blade to my face for the first time this weekend. Thru the help of this forum I have acquired a Dovo silver steel in ebony from SRD, a Filly strop, and a EJ Best Badger in faux horn. I am already enjoying this new way of shaving, and I haven't even shaved yet. Hmm I think my wallet is in trouble.

    Anyhow... I look forward to learning and eventually contributing from/to this great forum in days to come.

    Welcome from a fellow newbie.

    Lots of good information here. PLEASE make sure you read the Wiki. It will help with most of the problems that you may encounter as well as help on leaving your wallet closed and open on what you really need.

    The site is loaded with info that becomes very addictive.

    Welcome &

    This is a great forum and I am sure you will learn a lot from here. I am also a member of B&B and The Shave Den. This site and The Shave Den by far are the most informative I have found.

    Do be sure to read up in the Wiki and and as many postings as you can, they will help.

    The videos here are worth checking out and I would also recommend Mantic59 on YouTube.

    Watch that edge

    Welcome to SRP!

    +1 on what's been said already. If you have not read Lynn's thread in the beginners section "First Straight Shave-Read First" do so before you start. Let us know how you fare after your first try, and best of luck.

    thanks to all for the warm welcome. I 've been lurking on the forum and reading the wiki trying to soak up all I can. I will post my results after this weekend to let you know how well I digested all the info I've been reading.

    Again thanks to all you guys... this forum rocks
