Hello all, what a great forum! My name is Mark, I'm a somewhat beginner knifemaker and have always wanted to make a few straight razors. Before I do that however, I'm going to get a couple nice ones and give them a good look over, and learn how to use one properly. Funny thing is, is I stopped shaving with any sort of blade probably 10 years ago.. I used to get ingrown hairs on my neck so bad from shaving I just grew a beard and just switched to using my clippers for the spots I had to shave haha. But reading through the forum I've learned there is a much better chance of not having this problem with a straight razor, so all the more reason for me to get into this!

Here's a few pictures of some of my first dozen knives I've done, I'll definatly be keeping you guys posted on the razor projects and asking a million questions I'm sure along the way. Thanks for having me!
