Hello Everyone.This is all new to me I`ve never been in a Forum before.I have just started shaving with straight razor for about two months now and believe this is the way forward for me.I never would have thought that I would be learning to shave the correct way for me that is at fifty eight years old.I watched some of the Videos on Utube which is a great learning experience.I started out with a couple of Theirs Issard 5/8s but did not get on that great with them.I then bought a Revisor 6/8th and found this to be a work of art.The Revisor gives me the best shave I have ever had.I don`t think that I am to bad at stropping but I have yet to try out honing.I enjoy my morning shave now rather than dreading it. I worked as a Fisherman for many years and later worked on the railways.I don`t do much now as my health is not that great but I still have a pretty good life.My wife and I have four Cats and they can be loads of fun.I also pass the time with Play station or Xbox.Sometimes I read a little to. The help I have received from SRP has been great and more than helpful so thanks to all who have added their wisdom to this Forum and Kindest regards to you all.Dovahkinn
