Hi, I'm Brad and i live near Kansas City, MO.

I've been shaving with 2 blade Gillette disposables for the last seven or eight years. Started using a cheap brush and soap i got for prep lately and like the improved results vs my old canned stuff. I'm thinking about jumping into straight razor shaving.

Looking at maybe a sight unseen from whipped dog to get me started without breaking the bank.

Trying to do some research to decide on 5/8 or 6/8, quarter hollow, half hollow, or full hollow.

Thought it appropriate to stop in and introduce myself. Any advice or input is appreciated.
