Hey everyone, I made this account a very long time ago; and just forgot about it. My name is Ryan and I'm from IL. I'm a member of every shave forum known to man, but call TSD my home. I have been using a DE for over a year. Maybe I can call this my home away from home.

Anyways, I am very new to straight shaving. I gave myself my first straight shave about 6 months ago. It took me until a couple of weeks ago to buy my own straight. I bought a sight unseen straight from Whipped Dog. That razor is a Wade & Butcher 5/8".

It isn't very pretty to the average eye, but I think it's amazing. So I'm ready to learn and will post pictures here in a little bit.

Nice to meet everyone too btw.
