Hello Eban,

Like you, I'm very lucky to have found SRP. If it weren't for this forum and the internet, I doubt I could have found anyone with the skills and experience to help me with straight razor shaving. Welcome to the forums.

I didn't notice where anyone had actually placed a link to some nice stropping videos. It's because of these that I've yet to nick a strop. I know I'm new, and I may be calling on the fates to strike me down, but all this really cool information has helped me to avoid mistakes I would have otherwise blundered into.

I found watching this very helpful to me.

Good luck to you.
