Hello from Orange, CA (Socal)
Good afternoon!
My name is Adam, from Orange County. Up until January, I've been a Mach 3 guy. Cried myself to the isles every time i picked up a $30+ 5 or 6 pack of razors and wanted to try out safety and straight razors.
I purchased a Edwin Jagger Safety razor setup from Amazon and a 10 pack of Merkur razors. Love the shave, and amazing razors too.
Purchased a Parker SR1 changeable "straight" razor setup which was very cheap, came rusted on the inside, and the blades move around on install, and while shaving. Not even worth $5, let alone the $30 i paid for it.
My Current setup / products i use 2-3 times a week:

I follow a few shaving pages on Instagram and came across Val's page (@thegentlemansden) and love his collections and his restorations.
Today I came across this Merkur gem, and had to buy it for my first one. Can't wait to try it as my first actual straight, and looking forward to some nicks! ha
Thanks for looking,
Adam
There is some pitting on the back side but that doesn't bother me at all.
