    Default Hello from Portland, Oregon

    After 52 years of wet shaving with DE's and SE's, I shaved with a straight for the first time today. I participate in SOTD on two other forums, and just couldn't stand seeing such beautiful straights any longer without trying one. Although I only did one pass WTG, it went surprisingly well, without weepers or irritation. I'm thinking that shaving with a Streamline and a Cobra might have helped with blade angle and pressure, or rather lack of it. I've also gleaned a lot of initial information from this terrific forum, and looking forward to learning from such a knowledgeable group.
