Thread: Hi from Atlanta, GA

My name is Dave. I started shaving with a shavette to get a better edge line on my beard but I want to make the change to a real razor. I'm looking for one but cannot find a store where I can actually hold it before buying without dropping $300 at Art of Shaving. I'm worried about getting one online since there is such a price range and not every seller knows what their talking about. I'm here to pick up some pointers and direction.

Hi,Dave. Welcome to SRP. You can check the classifieds on this forum, they know what they are selling,and will treat you right. Next check out SRD ( Straight Razor Designs ) Lynn is the founder of this forum, and owner of SRD. He will Treat you right, and sell you a razor that is professionally honed, and ready to shave.

I know it is a bit of a drive but the weekend of 4/26 there is a meet up in Asheville.
Lots of things will be there to smell and hold.
SRD is a great place to start if you are looking for new, the classifieds and whipped dog would be an economical start.
I believe we have some members in your area as well that may be willing to meet up and do some show and tell.
Search the member list under community, with the advanced search function you can search by location.

There are some other members coming from Atlanta. Mooskier and bhorsoft.

Hi and welcome. Any of the site vendors or the classifieds are a good place to start your razor search. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask.
