    Default A Brief Introduction

    Hello there members. I'd like to introduce myself to you all as a complete shaving NOOB!

    My name is John, and I came here to learn as much as I could about straight razor shaving.

    Im 19, and I am no stranger to shaving, I have never been allowed to grow my beard out, either because of HS sports, or my job. So I have been trimming my tiny whiskers for almost 6 years, as of late my regular razor has been a Gillette Fusion Pro Glide, and I have gotten the best shaves(Cartridge razor-wise) over any other razor, and believe I have tried most of them.

    I believe I am ready to take the next step into actually enjoying my shaves!

    Thank you all for having me.

    John

    G'Day John and welcome - you've come to the right place to learn.

    Remember, we were all noobs when we started so it's all good.

    You might like to edit your profile to let us know where you are in the world - you never know, there might be a member just around the corner.

    Glad to have you on board
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...

    Welcome. If you haven't done so already, I recommend you start in the Wiki section of SRP by scouring through the beginners section and the FAQs. It's a great place to start, in addition to the forum. It can be found here: Straight Razor Place Wiki - Straight Razor Place Wiki

    Welcome to SRP, as above, check the wiki/library if you have questions and if you don't find the answer, just ask.

    Thanks for the response guys. I've spent a few days just perusing the forum/beginners guides, and an trying to absorb as much as possible. I also have my eye on a SR or two, after that, cream, a strop and brush should be terribly hard to find.

    I'll definitely keep you updated though!

    Thanks
    John

    Edit: I also cant wait to start the process of SR shaving, because my current job does not allow facial hair(I know right).
