Thread: Newbie to the SRP Fourm

My name is Bob, but many know me as Gonzo. I am fairly new to the Straight razor world but have been a safety razor user for about two years, Now I am getting really attached to this new obsession and hobby. I think I have seven straights right now. I want to really learn honing next. I know to be patient, but want to touch up my own razors. I am a very tough bearded person, Any suggestions on setting an edge or type of straight that will hold edges longer?
I am from the Northwest suburbs of Chicago and am looking to find some local help in the area. I look forward to hearing from many of you. Thanks for letting me into this forum.

Please if you were on a submarine, I started a group called Submariners. I want to start sharing experiences and tales of being under the water.

Best Regards,
Gonzo
