    Default I got the bug

    Welcome everyone... A week ago i was looking for some stones for my knives, and boom...i saw a Iwasaki Kamisori straight razor,so i purchased one,very impulsive.
    So in this last week i have been looking at strops,western razors.. a must,shaving brushes,creams,soaps,stands,so much to choose from... its evident that i need help.
    I did not realize that the straight razor world was so big and popular, and i'm looking forward to learning more from you guys Thanks in advance.

    Hi and welcome. Start by checking the beginner's section in the library. Most of the basics are covered there. If you do have any questions feel free to ask.

    Welcome to SRP

    I found straights in the same way. Looking to sharpen some knives with new stones led me to SRD and a much more enjoyable way to shave.

    Enjoy the journey. Read and watch what you can
