I have been using a safety razor since the '80s but I'm a straight razor newb. I live in Southwest Virginia. Floyd that is. I have been shaving with a shavette for a few weeks now. Waiting on a vintage straight razor I have to return from getting honed. It was an ebay acquisition and will be my first true straight. I've been learning a lot reading through the forum and the wiki. I look forward to getting a few more straights and then starting to hone myself. Thanks! -Mike
