    Default Hello from California

    Hi, nice to find your community. New to the straight razor concept.
    I have been looking for an starter blade in the classifieds, if there is something there that would be appropriate for a beginner please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Richard

    Welcome Richard. I am in So. Ca. you just missed a great meet but maybe we will see you at the next 1. As for a first pic what looks good to you and make sure it is shave ready. Something around 5/8,6/8 is a good place to start. Square point can be tricky but I learned on 1.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Hi and welcome. Check out the library for all the starter info and the basics of Sr shaving. Any questions feel free to ask. All quality razors are able to be used it just depends on how much you want to spend. Good luck. Ed
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
