Thread: Joining the party

Welcome. There are lots of folks from your part of the Pacific on here and I'm sure one will be able to help you out. In the meantime peruse away and ask all the questions you want. One of the best uses of time is to start in the welcome center, work straight through all the material for beginners and the videos that are linked there. I started a little over a year ago and found it a great help, which I still refer back to. Beginner's guide to straight razor shaving - Straight Razor Place Library

Welcome!

Give my mate Oz a PM. He's a great guy. You will find him here:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/members/onimaru55.html

Start reading the very helpful information at the above recommended link in the previous post. With that said you can learn more in a few short hours of hands on help than you will by reading and watching videos for months. I hope you'll be able to meet up with Oz and or some of the other members down your way.

Again, Welcome to an older but better way of shaving. It's a long strange trip but well worth the journey.

Thanks @Cudarunner! [emoji106]

I've picked up that Oz is the man to speak with about honing and all things SE! I think he even lives in Sydney as well. I'll definitely PM him- it was on my to-do list to look up his classified once I had access.

Oz won't steer you wrong he's forgotten more about honing and razors in general than I've ever learned. I wish we weren't separated by the Big Pond so he could teach me some of his knowledge. Yes he's in Sydney. If by chance you'd be interested in also learning some martial arts he can help on that also.

I'd love to learn from someone in person! That would be great. I think shaving with a straight has any components that are best learnt in person.

G'day mate,
definitely give Oz a call when you need the honing done, he is close to you and 1 off if not the best honer in Aus.
there are several other members in your area that may be able to help you along also.
Lots of residence’s of Gods country on here all willing to help were possible as well as the multitude of international members all dedicated to the cause willing to help answer your questions etc
so take your time read & watch everything & enjoy your journey.
there are also some ready good posts in the beginners & the Down Under forum for sourcing your items.

Thanks. Sometimes I want to rush things, so I'll remember to slow and enjoy the journey.

I've been looking in already at the Down Under forum... I'll definitely pop my head in.
