So... After months of badgering my wife she finally gave in. She got me the buffalo horn set from straightrazors.com for Christmas. I've enjoyed a total of 5 shaves so far.
I'm happy to join the community and look forward to the advise and conversations. Hoping to get my shave tuned in and get the BBS and less irritation that's been eluding me with cartridge shaving!
Thanks
Scott
Where in Texas are you? I just bought my first straight razor, and my wife finally got on board with the idea too!
Lake Jackson. South of Houston
Congrats on the shaving gifts you got for Christmas! I to just started this journey on Christmas, and so far I love it!
Have fun with the shaving, and welcome to SRP!
Welcome to the forums. There are a lot of Houstonians on board -- check this thread http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...151-texas.html for meets in the Houston area.
Hi and welcome. Check out the library for all the starter info and the other basics. Good luck. Ed
Thanks I'm soaking in as much information as i can handle. Where can i find someone to send out for honing when it's time? I think I'll wait to learn that until i have a second razor...
Welcome to SRP. Glad you've been enjoying your shaves. You can find people in the members services section of the classifieds that offer honing services. Is this the set you got?
That's it. It didn't come with that exact strop or case but It was shave ready in my novice opinion. Doesn't pull and I'm already getting little to no irritation on my cheeks
Glad to hear you're having success. While I don't have any hands-on experience with this razor, I have seen other posts about them having issues.
So far so good. I'm curious to see how much difference after sending it out to get honed. Always a good excuse to buy another so i don't have to be without
Good shave this evening! Added ATG to this routine. Cheeks only the neck and especially the chin are still just WTG
Pretty excited to find a local who makes badger brushes and strops I've already put an order in
