Good morning,

I have always been interested in shaving with a straight razor. I recently had a total knee replacement and have a little time in my hands and have begun to research the skills and supplies needed. While googling the idea I ran across a 40 page document on how to, what to and a lot of good general advice on straight razor shaving. I see there is a lot to it! Not only did the document mention this forum, it mentioned buying some used equipment to "hone" my skills and figure out what works for me.

I don't think I want to use a "shavette" , I think I want to start right out with typical straight razor. I can be convinced otherwise, but that is my early stage thinking.

Any advice would be appreciated.
