Thread: Starting Carefully in Chicago

Welcome to the party. Read Read Read all the beginners threads. Ask any questions you may have and enjoy the journey.

@ OCD: Dude. This cold is my daily reminder that I miss my beard (had to shave for work). Unbelievable.

I'll definitely post both strop and razor pics. Should I do that here, or is there a "Show off my baby" thread?

You can post here or there is a show and tell section you can use. You'll find that the group loves its razor porn.

As for the cold, I didn't make it to the office today but opted to work from my living room. LOL.

We have a honing meetup this Saturday if you're interesting in learning some stuff first hand... Join the Chicago club and PM Gonzo4str8rzrs if you're interested

Thanks for mentioning the meetup, TwistedOak! I know I'll be there.

Alright guys. Not sure it qualifies as full on Razor Porn just yet, but here's my kit:

- Heiffor Army razor, pre 1919 (bought right here from SRP's own stimpy52). I played Fanfare for the Common Man while I opened the package.
- Illinois 127 leather/linen strop
- Elite Best-Badger brush
- Williams soap in a sentimental mug
- Homemade Grapeseed/Tea Tree preshave (SRP recipe)

I'm way too new to be proud, so if anything here could be called "the worst", hit me with recommendations. Thanks again for all your help so far, and being here in general. First stroke in an hour...

@TwistedOak - thanks for the heads up. I'm gonna swing by for a bit.

There you go. Now you're living the high life.
