Got my starter package yesterday from SRD. Got a Dovo best quality, upgraded to the 3" strop. Got Lynn's DVD. I shaved with a straight for the first time yesterday, I couldn't wait to get up this morning and shave again. Haven't nicked myself yet. Lol. I got the unscented soap, I thought it smelled bad. I put the container in a pot of boiling water until it melted and sprayed some cologne in it as I poured it into my shave mug. It is awesome. Don't know if that's a common practice, but it worked great. Used it this morning and smelled great.
I've always been a blade freak, love custom knives, now I think I found another love. I've been looking at the custom razors, wow. Makes me want to run out in the garage and start working on a razor. Look forward to searching thru the rest of the site and learning some new stuff.
Thanks, Dave
