    Default Howdy from the Deep South!

    Newbie knocking on the door, here. I'm looking at moving to a straight and in general to a more laid back approach to a lot of things. Looking around here, it looks like this place is plumb full of good folks. Thanks for having me and I'm looking forward to joining in (and probably developing a good case of razor/hone envy )

    God bless,
    Brandon (Bubba)

    OOPS: just realized I posted this in beginners instead of introductions...sorry everyone
    Mods, please move if you wish. Thanks!!

    Welcome to SRP. A laid back approach will serve you well in this ridiculous undertaking. Rushing and being overly attached to an outcome causes a variety of problems. Take your time and enjoy the process. You are dead on about all the good, helpfull folks here. Read up and feel free to ask questions.

    Welcome. As they said take your time. Don't jump into a purchase, decide on a budget and research it until you know it from front to back and back again. Never feel silly asking a question here, someone here has undoubtedly had the same problem and will be able to help. Once again welcome and good luck.

    Welcome to SRP. You're in the right place. Take your time, be patient, and best of luck to you. Love it when I see more straight shavers poppin' up nearby. Maybe we can have a Deep South meet-up one day and share some knowledge and swap some lies.

    Thanks for the welcome, y'all! The more I keep looking and reading around here, the more it seems there is to read...I'm gonna be blind from staring at the screen

    Wildhog, good to see another Bama boy around. JeremyLee, a DS meetup sounds good to me. Laurel isn't that far away. I actually have a good friend of mine from over there.

    Devilpup, thanks for the advice. Y'all watch out for the wacky weather up in IL...I think Alabama's finally sent it away for awhile.

    Thanks, Lazarus. Laid back is something I always was before three kids Now, I'm just trying to figure out how to go from the Formula 1 of every day back to Model T. I guess if it doesn't happen now, it will in about 12-15 more years when they're grown and gone hehe.

    str8fence, WOW! I can't believe my first welcome was from Oslo. THANKS!

    Bubba
