New to the hobby from central Arkansas
Hello everyone. I discovered the wonderful world of SR shaving after debating it for years. My mom sent me a straight razor that belonged to my great grandfather. I sent it to Larry at whippeddog to be honed up. That was 2 months ago and I have jumped into the hobby with both feet. It has been an adventure so far. Looking forward to all the great help and advice I can get here.

Welcome! Now watch the checkbook - I'm still a newbie as well and am obsessed with new razors/strops.

First off Mean Pig is still open. I have been stropping the razor. The checkbook has done a few backflips so far. I picked up some hones and stones yesterday. I took a motorcycle ride to Dans Whetstones in Pearcy, Ar and picked up some high quality black noviclite stones. Well worth the money.

Welcome aboard! You're quite fortunate to have an heirloom razor to shave with. If you haven't already, you may want to consider picking up a beater razor to learn honing on. Take good care of your great grandfathers.
Also, pics!
