Hello from western Pa.

Hi all,
Recently got interested in the wet shave. Have been using an electric for years and kind of going over it the shower with a double or triple blade disposable. I forgot how good a DE shave feels. I recently sent off a straight razor for honing and I wanted to try it out. Also, just bought a Boker off E Bay and will see how that feels. I bought a shavette (Parker) and really can't say I have had real good luck with it. Fortunately, the human body has about 7 pints of blood. I hope to learn a lot.

Welcome! Ya, those shavettes are nasty! So you have lots of fellow members in PA. Read up and search the forum!
Too much info! :D Good luck!

Hi and welcome. Your in the right place to learn about wet shaving. Check out the library for all the starter info and the other basics of Sr shaving and any questions feel free to ask.

Inspector, Welcome to SRP.
This video might be useful with both straight razor and shavette.

Thanks all for the welcome. I've seen a lot of info on this site, having lurked for a month or 2.

Welcome :) if you can shave with a shavette effectively they give you an excellent result! Keep with it. I found it to be a pretty easy transition from shavette to straight once I had a sharp straight razor :)
