Hello all!. My name is Zach. I'm new to straight razors. I switched to a double edge safety razor from a cartridge razor about a year ago, and never looked back. More recently I had ventured into shavettes and rather enjoyed it. I asked for a straight razor for Christmas and got one. It's a Gold Dollar, and also got a 3 inch strop too. I haven't gotten a chance to shave with it yet but should today. Very much looking forward to it when I do. This looks like an awesome site and am looking forward to reading more posts and learning more.
