Thread: Hello all

Hello,

Thought I should finally make an account and introduce myself. My name is Kyle, I am a crewchief on H-60 Helicopters in the Navy. I been shaving with a "shavette" for awhile and decided I would like to try a true straight razor so here I am. I have to shave everyday so I might as well enjoy it. I recently bought a strop and razor from straight razor designs and cant wait to use it but slightly reserved about messing up a nice razor with my lack of knowledge. Can't learn if you dont try, right?. Thanks for reading.

Let me be the first to say a warm welcome to the forum.
And yes learning by doing is definately the way forward.

Welcome to SRP Redcane. I worked on helicopters myself for the Army. Don't worry about "messing up" a razor. As long as you keep water out of the scales, dry off the blade after use and don't drop it, you're golden. Enjoy the ride.

Hi and welcome. Don't drop it, strop slow and keep the blade flat and you'll be fine. Srd have good equipment so you know where your at there. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I will for sure keep you updated.
