I'm guilty. 8 months ago, SRP convinced me to make the leap from DE to straight razors, and this forum has been my bible all the way. I've read the tutorials, took advantage of the reviews, learned to hone from countless hours of reading about your experiences.
Tonight, I join you all in sharing my own experiences and start participating, rather than crossing my fingers and finding the answers I need in the search engine...
JustAKnick, welcome to the active SRP status you have just activated. Pics of your razor(s) and stuff. We like pics, saves on words. I'm sure you haven't exhausted your question file yet so be sure to ask. We like to answer (sometimes incoherently, but we like to answer).
Yep! And some times the answers can be hilarious..............these guys do have a sense of humor!
Bruce, haven't heard from you in a while. Every thing alright? Been thinking about you.
Welcome. I hope your quiet studying has paid off. Some wise guy once said if you are alone with your problems you are in bad company. That's always a good time to call a friend, or post on a forum.
Ha! No major problems yet. Other than trying to hone a troublesome, doomed from the beginning, warped TI, I've manged to get by.
8 months hiding in the shadows looks like yoga episode
Been paying attention though
Welcome to SRP
Welcome
Sounds like you are a ways into your straight endeavor
Welcome to official no-lurker status! :) Sounds like you are well on your way. Please feel free to ask any questions, as you have seen we usually can answer them.
Hi and welcome. By the sound of it you've done the hard yards already. But if you do have questions feel free to ask and we may even answer with something useful.
Welcome! Keep participating fully now and share your questions and the answers you've discovered along the way. We all have something we can learn and probably something we can teach/share.
Welcome & congrats! It doesn't take much & your hooked! When Lynn created SRP, he created a monster w/o knowing it! It just goes to show you what one action can do. I love SRP & wouldn't be on any other forum! I have never been on the other one but I just know this one is full of much more highly regarded & smarter members. I don't know how to explain it but it just speaks for itself. What can I say? You are on the best straight razor forum known & I'm proud to be a member here. Utilize the beginners part in the Library & also learn the stropping technique on here, then when you're comfortable, watch the honing videos & learn how to hone on here. You will learn how to do it all yourself & won't have to send your razor out to be sharpened. I don't know if you have a straight yet but if so, you will want a spares that you will have something when you initially send you razor out for honing. You will need something to shave with. Good luck & take care!
Welcome - I know I lurked around here reading for a couple of months...took me awhile to join, but once I'd ordered the stuff and had a few shaves, I knew it was time to jump in - the forum has regretted it ever since.
Enjoy!
