Hi there. Today I decided to go and get a straight razor and see if it's any better that what I currently use. I hope that you friendly people will give me some help as time goes on and maybe in the future I might be able to return the favour to other people.
Now you are probably thinking "Another noob!" BUT, I would put money on the fact that I have TWO medical conditions that you probably didn't know existed.
1) hypertrichosis (AKA werewolf syndrome. Excessive hair growth)
2) Pili Multigemini (bifurcated or multiple hairs in a single follicle)
It takes me 2-3 razors in a single sitting to get a proper shave so at the moment I only shave 3-4 times a week. It takes me this many razors because I have about 3 times as much hair as most. Imagine trying to get a smooth shave on your entire body with a single razor and you have a picture of what I have to go through on JUST my face,,, well,,, my cheeks, neck and upper lip... I have a goatee so thankfully it's a scissor job there The advantages of being a man huh?

Well, anyway; I'll be lurking through the pages here over the next few days while I wait for my new toy to arrive and hopefully I'll learn a thing or two.

P.S. Feel free to ask ANYTHING. I'm used to questions.
