Hi, I'm a new member from Huntsville, Alabama. I am enjoying reading the many posts here on an overwhelming array of topics, and have learned quite a bit so far. I am awaiting the arrival of my razors that have been sent to Lynn for restoration and honing. I expect them soon and will then be having my first straight razor shave. Can't wait. Currently using a Merkur 23c DE razor and still searching for my favorite brand of blades.
