I have been DE shaving for a while now but thought it would be nice to try something new. Straight shaving has always been appealing to me. There is something about straight shaving that is very elegant.

Well I ordered a razor from whippeddog and it should come tomorrow. I missed the darn mailman to sign for the package. I mistakenly didn't order a strop which I later learned was probably not the best decision, but thought I would wait until my first shave to determine if I want to go further down the rabbit hole in purchases.

I have read a ton of information about straight shaving and watched numerous videos. I think I'm well prepared to begin the process. I would start this thread to chronicle my progression into straight shaving and ask questions along the way.

I'm very excited to begin!!!

Thanks in advance for your support and feedback along the way!
