Hey everybody,

My name is Ben from Great Falls, VA., right outside of DC. After lurking the forums for the last year trying to find information on an old Henckels, a Wostenholm, and a Boker I found in my grandmothers attic, I finally decided to join and wanted to introduce myself. I should be receiving my first shave ready straight edge tomorrow, a 6/8 Ralf Aust from Lynn at SRD. I'm really excited to finally be taking the plunge and learning how to shave from such a wonderful and supportive community. I'm sure I'll have a million questions along the way, but It's good to know I have somewhere to turn to for advice. Thanks!
