New newbie

Hi all,
Just started last week with my blue diamond I bought from Bob Keyes. A beautiful razor. Also picked up an Illinois hanging strop, treated canvas side with chromium oxide spray and a norton 4/8. I must say this is definitely a learning curve going from DE shaving to this but I have not sliced myself up too bad and am looking forward to developing my skills. Just wanted to say hi and look forward to picking your brains.

Sounds like you're off to a great start. This is a great site for picking the brains of some very knowledgeable people. I do it all the time!

Welcome to the world of straight razor shaving! You're going to enjoy this.

Welcome. You are in for a fun ride.

I got a little ivory handled henckels from Bob. He does nice work...
Welcome.

Welcome to SRP :) Bob Keyes has been around for a long time and is one of the best.
You did good.

If there's no photo you don't have a razor at all. Them's the rules...
