Hello all. I've lurked here for a few months off and on as my interest in straight razoring has continued to grow. I've gleaned enough information to finally make the decision to finally step up and get started. The initial investment has been the main factor holding me back but this weekend I finally came across a few blades that my buddy had from his grandfather who was a barber. I grabbed 5 razors that looked like they had promise based on the vast knowledge posted in the database. I dont get to keep all 5 but I do get to keep a couple and cut my teeth (or throat!) On them after I get them dialed in. Ill try and post detailed pics of each one but right now Im doing this via smartphone so it may be too cumbersome.

Regardless, I'll be here continuing to school myself and hopefuloy pass along some relevant information to others as I learn.

Great site everyone, it's going to be fun learning this new skill. NAES
