    Just saying hi to everyone! Im a long time wet DE shaver. Been thinking of straights for a while. Then I was introduced to this site. Couldn't be more excited! Looking forward to learning a new skill for my shaving routine.

    welcome! im sure most of us agree with the title of your thread. I know a lot of guys that stepped into straights from de's. like DoughBoy68 said, youre ahead of the learning curve knowing how to prep. keep the de handy and maybe ease into the straights, use the straight razor on the cheeks only first and finish up with the de first few times to get a hang of the angles and feel. enjoy the new skills!

    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.
