Hello my name is noetic or Brandon from Atlanta, GA. I was inspired to give straight razor shaving a try after I watched the new Bond movie. The entire movie is an homage to doing things the old fashioned way and there is a scene that involves him shaving with a straight razor. I realize all the benefits of straight razor shaving but the reason I am giving it a try is that some traditions need to be preserved. I am 29 and realize that as we move forward in time we are going to have to incorporate the best things of our past with the best of the future. Anyway my starter kit is in the mail heres to hoping it works out for me.
