Hello Gents,
I'm Andrew from Santa Cruz, CA- about 50 miles down the coast from San Francisco. A few months ago I got bitten from the wet shaving, and seem to be moving on to straights quickly. I've already learned a lot from lurking here, and -big nasty cut I gave myself this morning notwithstanding- can't wait to continue learning this skill.
Cheers!
Hello Andy welcome from a fellow newb! I'm only three shaves into it but I think it's safe to say I have got the bug for this! Good luck!
Welcome to SRP, where you can learn how to stop the blood letting!
Keep reading, learning, and remember to take it slow.
Hello Andrew, and welcome to SRP. Although I've been wet shaving for 52 years, I've only been using a straight for about seven months. Although there is a steep learning curve, after about three months everything seems to gel. There are many very knowledgeable people here who are willing to share their knowledge and provide support.

Hi and welcome. Good luck with your shaves and any questions feel free to ask
Welcome to SRP. I've been using a straight razor for about five months now. Cut myself two days running. Trying to hurry, of course!
Taking a break now, to heal and get back in the zone. LOL. It happens. Good luck and smooth shaves.
