    Hello all. I'm new to the straight razor world but find it to be such a better shave. Anyone familiar with the site vintagestraightrazor.com? And if so, any thoughts?

    Welcome to SRP!

    Looking at the website you mentioned I am skeptical. If you use the search bar in the upper right hand corner you will find threads that will probably answer your question.

    No problem. I highly recommend checking out Straight Razor Designs, the Classifieds here at SRP, or the Vendors Corner here at SRP.
    I also recommend reading this.

    Welcome to SRP, I'm sure you enjoy the site. We look forward to your input. It's always nice to have another North Carolinian. Where from? I'm in Chapel Hill area.

    Welcome aboard. As far as shops, the site sponsors like Straight Razor Place or Vintage Blades LLC (not the one you mentioned) have good gear. I am not really sure about the vendor you posted. I hate to post anything negative about a vendor but it seems they sale things to be avoided. I could be wrong.

    I've probably checked that site out and possibly purchased an item or two. I also have looked at and usually buy a thing or two from most all other SR sites that appear to be legit. But in the end, it's SRD where I buy supplies and SRP where I get my dose of SR culture (and according to my wife I'm in dire need of culture)....

    Anyway, welcome aboard and I suspect you'll find that this is the one SR site that you'll come to find is without question the best.
