Hi Jason, and welcome to SRP!

Which part of Scotland are you in? I spend six years in St Andrews as a grad student and miss that place like crazy. Can't wait to get back next summer for a visit.

Here are a couple of links to get you started:

Beginner's guide to straight razor shaving - Straight Razor Place Wiki

First straight razor shave - Straight Razor Place Wiki

Good luck, and as Kev said, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions!

Nice - one of my best friends while I lived there was from Irvine, so I have spent my fair share of time in Ayrshire.
