Thread: Shout-out to SRP

Just wanted to say thanks guys. I've been shaving with a straight razor for 6-7 weeks now, and you guys have really stepped up my game. I've gone from just barely being able to put a straight to my face to getting some of the best shaves of my life consistently.

You guys have improved me in all categories: I can use the spike point to dial in my chin line perfectly with no taper to shaved skin; I've improved my soap / cream inventory majorly (got MWF on the way, loving Pre de Provence, great shaves with the T&H Rose Cream Tub, Cella as always...); I took my reference razor honed by Lynn back to an incredible shaver (bad stropping and other newbie mistakes messed it up, today i did a pyramid starting at 10 on the norton 4k and ending with 5 on the naniwa 12k followed with 10 strops on cotton, 40 strops on a Dovo Prima, and 100 strops on SRD english bridle. the razor shaves flat out incredibly); good stropping has become easier than walking without chewing gum; and Lynn's tip on using the tip of the brush is the greatest thing to happen to soap and cream since some put badger hair on a handle; and several more that are slipping my mind at the moment.

Thanks guys. The wiki is great. The forums are great. The reviews are generally superb. Thanks.

Could you elaborate on the tip?

Thanks

Sidnet,

I wrote that incorrectly so I edited my post. I'm still new to forums in general, so here's a link to the tip.
