Hello fellas from London

**Reggiedunlop** · 10-03-2014, 09:05 PM

I've checked out the forum a few times, so thought I should become a member. I've started using a cut throat/ straight razor about 2 months ago. I never knew how much there was to it, prepping, sharpening,etc.. and it's really become a hobby. I still have a lot to learn but I'm really enjoy it.
I have always enjoy going to the barbers to get a shave but was always to afraid to try it myself. This year my wife got me a straight razor for my birthday and that's how I got started. It's great having this forum has I come here a lot to find out about techniques and the dos and don't.

cheers for now,
R
