    Default Howdy from Melbourne (AU)

    Greetings Gentlemen (and any ladies that may have inadvertently wandered astray).

    I’ve been lurking around here for more then a year absorbing all that I can.

    I haven’t yet started to use a straight (although I have a couple of family heirlooms that are far from shave ready and begging for a restoration) but I’ve been trying to master the fundamentals of wet shaving for the past 6 months using a DE razor.

    In that time I have come to greatly appreciate (amongst many other things):

    1. the value (and comfort) of a sharp blade. Having fair hair, blue eyes and a beard with more then a little auburn tinge, feathers are my one and only;
    2. that patience is a virtue, for with out it being a patient is my destiny. Specifically, I experience nothing but unpleasantness if I don’t take the time to make my skin taut and pay attention to grain direction, such that WTG always comes before XTG which always comes before ATG.


    I have not previously posted as I am in my formative years (figuratively speaking) and not yet wise in the art, however the new giveaway rules have had the desired impact and I will endeavour to keep my future participation informative and useful, thereby maintaining the customary standards.

    Warmest regards,

    Neal.

    G'Day and welcome, Neal.
    Glad to have another Aussie on board.
    Hopefully some of the Victorians will say 'Hi' as well
    Hang on and enjoy the ride...
