Instead of shaving being a chore, it actually became something I looked forward to. Inevitably therefore, I strayed into the path of straight razor purely out of curiosity, I mean, no way would I have the courage to use one of these... Not a change.... No way...

    After a session on Ebay looking at straight razors, out of curiosity, I found myself the proud owner of a 6/8 Kropp, then after a little checking around the web, a Strop was winging its way to me. I sent the kropp out for honing and have shaved with it 3 times now, taking it easy for now with 2 passes of the sideburn/cheek area. Not confident enough to go any further just now as I am still concentrating on technique.

    So Hello from England and I may ask a few dumb questions from time to time.
    Welcome to the forum.This is the best forum i know of & will stick with it. zSo glad you became a member & if you go to the beginners section & utilize the Library like Richard said, you will learn so much. I have a binder & I print information & put it in my binder for future reference. It comes in handy!Glad you're here & you won't regret it!!!!
