    Default Hello from Melbourne, Australia

    Hi everyone,


    Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. I've been a DE shaver for a few years, but this Brian Brown blade - which came in the mail a couple of days ago - marks my entry into the world of straight razor shaving. I've lurked on-and-off for a little while, looking forward to the day when I could finally sign up as a legit blade-carrying member.


    Name: image.jpg Views: 136 Size: 19.7 KBName: image.jpg Views: 116 Size: 31.9 KBName: image.jpg Views: 124 Size: 25.9 KBName: image.jpg Views: 118 Size: 29.0 KB

    For now, I'm just hoping not to decapitate myself; if I post here again that'll be a good sign, lol.

    Cheers,
    Eugene

    Hi and welcome. That's a great looking razor and sure you will make a nice start with it. It does take a while so patience aim for comfortable shaves to start with. There are a few guys from Melbourne so if you have trouble give a shout and sure someone will help. Also check out the Down Under forum. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
    My wife calls me......... Can you just use Ed
