Been lurking in the forums and decided to start my very own account. I am a newbie straight shaver. I have two straights. One is a dubl duck satin wedge. Which I pinned with new micarta scales today. And I acquired a case red imp 133.
I have a pos strop and cheap vdh gear but I do the ritual daily since starting a month or so ago. Oh and the micarta scales I did myself.
Welcome to SRP!
Thank you. I love the culture around this forum. Its an honor to be a member.

Welcome, you are off to a good start.
Search is your friend. You can find plenty of ideas and resources here.
Welcome from the other side of the country.
I'm going for the most remote welcome in this thread:)
Sounds like you are off to a brilliant start with some fine shaving equipment.
Should you need any help, shout out.
That is what this community is all about!
Hi and welcome. You sound like a candidate for RAD. Fixing razors is a great but you always need new ones to fix. Problem with me is I'm yet to get rid of one.
What's RAD?Quote:

Excellent I know now what's been ailing me. Damn. Is it fatal?

Thanks seems to be a lot of socal love on here. Pretty cool.
There is a few of us. We need to set up another meet up soon
Do we have any social members that do honing?
I can do it myself but I'm limited to finishing on 6k Waterston's and then crox on balsa.

Welcome to SRP! You should definitely attend one of the local SoCal meet-ups if you get the chance. It will really ease your learning curve in all things wet shaving. Good luck!
Hello, and welcome to SRP.
Yes we do. Jerry (SRP name - 10pups) lives in orange county and he will do honing for people. Not sure what he charges but he can do it.
Welcome to the forum! I'm in the OC...if your having a problem with either of your razors give me a shout out via PM. I'll be more than happy to get you started and hone those blades for you no charge.
