Hi all,

My name is Matt and i'm from Brooklyn, NY. I actually got interested in straight razor shaving after seeing an article and video on the art of manliness. I ended up taking the plunge about two months ago, having my first shave new years day with a sight unseen razor from Larry at whipped dog. After a tough start and almost giving up, I've really begun to make strides with my straight! I'm about 40 shaves in and my shaves are just a hare under where my DE shaves were but with none of the irritation! I would like to get into honing eventually, not to restore razors, but just to be able to keep my razor sharp with out having to send it out.

Matt
