Hi and welcome. Any questions feel free to ask and good luck with your shaves
Thanks everyone. I have a lot of questions as most beginners would. But I will ease into those. Im very impressed with the amount of material this sight has available. I have been watching all the videos an reading the articles the last week or so. I also have started my search for the right straight. Looking forward to the process of learning for sure. Thanks again for the warm welcome. An silverloaf my DE isn't going any where any time soon.
