newbie looking for a new hobby
Hello Everyone,
I've been busily reading through the forums learning all about straight blade shaving.
I'm a research and development consultant by day (RD3 :: research and development grants if your in Canada and interested)
I made what seems to be a common mistake and ordered a zeepk kit from ebay
everything is junk thought i was able to hone one of the several razors well enough to cut dry hair off my forearm
Bought some proraso aftershave and a new straight from the classifieds
now it's time to wait for the new blade!
Looking forward to the best shave of my life with the help of you people!
talk to you soon!

Welcome! What's the new blade you're waiting for?

That sounds like an interesting blade--post a picture when you get it. Originally Posted by wyldr

Shipping during the Christmas season is quite a bit slower...I've been waiting on a few thing myself. Welcome and I hope you enjoy the shaves as much as you anticipate.

Thank you and God Bless, Scott

You aren't the first one here to get tricked into buying junk. It should be against the law to sell you a razor that just will never ever shave.
I pitched my "timber rattler" into the trash bin. Completely worthless...
Enjoy!!!
