Hello from colonial beach VA
I have been reading and learning from this forum for a few weeks now. I have to say thanks for all the great info. I need to throw a special thank you to Larry from whippeddog.com . After researching on here I figured Larry was the guy to talk to if I wanted to get into the straight razor game. He hooked me up with a nice straight razor that was perfectly re-honed and shave ready. And a nice "poor mans" strop kit.
Well the razor came in yesterday and I got the first shave this morning with some classic bay rum soap. I have to say, best shave ive ever had. Now, it wasnt perfect and I will need to tune my razor and lather techniques to continue to chase that perfect shave, but man am I glad I was introduced to this world of straight razors.
Just wanted to say thanks to all of you on this forum for getting me started in the right direction.
