Hi everyone,

I spent all day yesterday reading through this site, and since you are all so helpful and everyone seems cool, I decided to register!

I have to thank the founder for creating such a helpful site, and all the members who seem eager to help and so enthusiastic.

I have been interested in straight razors for a year or so, but kind of forgot about it since there were no local suppliers. The furthest I got was buying a nice stainless steel badger brush. It was not until last week when I saw the ad for the Micro Touch One that I decided to get serious. I immediately began researching the DE razors and wanted to find an all SS blade holder and handle. Then it hit me, a straight razor is even better as there is no blade refills! Somehow by following link to link I ended here. Fortunately after reviewing so many vendor websites I picked my 2 favorite for best prices, web layout, and feel for good customer service. SRD and Vintage Blades and here they are your vendors as well!

Well it's time to start saving up for my first razor, and keep an eye out for a good used straight at a cheap price in case it is not for me.
