Hello from Cleveland, Ohio...

I am new to this straight razor world.... and I am eager to learn. I decided down this road because I wanted something for me. I wanted to spend time on me. I try to eat healthy, I workout, very active outdoors... and I started to think that I wanted to spoil myself a little bit. I support tradition, and would like to pass it on.
Some of my other hobbies are.... annual fishing trips to Ontario or Quebec, woodworking, cabinets, picture frames, boxes, etc, I restore old Stanley hand planes... ( I have a full line of Norton stones)...and beer, making it and drinking it! Last but not least...I enjoy riding my 1998 Harley Davidson Wide Glide.

I am looking forward to this new experience.

Hello, Cleveland!
Welcome to SRP.

Welcome to SRP, Patrick. Everything you need is right here just use the Search tool. If you can't find it, just ask. Good luck! :)

Hi Patrick, I'm just learning as well and I've spent probably the last two days in the Library section. Tons of info and videos there. Good luck

Hi Patrick, and welcome to SRP!

If you're looking to spend some time on yourself while preserving a tradition, I think you're in the right place. :)

As has been said, there is a TON of info on the site - both in the Library (aka the Wiki) and in the forum itself. nd of course if and when you have questions, ask away!

If you have not yet seen it, this is a good starting place for anyone starting out:
Beginner's guide to straight razor shaving - Straight Razor Place Library

Good luck!

Welcome. Sorry you have to go fishing in Ontario. There is a lot of information here, let the learning begin!

Hi and welcome. As said any questions feel free to ask. Good luck on your next journey

YEAAAA CLEVELAND!!! I'm from Willoughby (right outside Cleveland). Welcome to the forums, you will find everything you need to know here. Next time I'm in town I'll have to try some of your beer, I love home/micro brews.

@sinnfein, I'm actually from Strongsville, just south of Cleveland, and only 10 miles from Straight Razor Design.

I've seen pictures of it, but never actually been there. Probably a good thing...at least for my bank account. Way too much temptation for me!! :D

Have fun!!

Howard :)
