Hi guys,
I started shaving with a double edge razor about 2 months ago and I am really enjoying it. I started wet shaving because I got sick of having irritation on my neck and dry flaky skin on my cheeks all winter long. So far, its been a lot better. I will be buying my first straight razor and a strop in the next month or two, so I'm reading a lot about it here first. Thanks for all the information everyone.
Glad to have you! Before you jump in and buy that razor & strop, read up and ask some questions. There is a LOT of junk out there and it can easily confuse someone new to our sport.
Welcome! Lots to learn hereabouts...have fun!
Hello, Brent. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!
Welcome aboard! Glad to see you are liking the wet shave hobby. There is a bit more of a learning curve with a straight, but in exchange you get more control over your shave.
Keep us informed on how you are progressing.

Welcome from a new convert, been wet shaving all my life but have just switched to a straight. You'll love it and find yourself quickly addicted. Read and learn but with your first shave with a straight you'll be hooked and that's a good thing.
Welcome. There is a lot to read here!
Hey. Welcome Brent. I was just in Champlin. I have a brother that lives there.
Thanks everyone. You've really made me feel welcome here and thanks for all of the advice so far.
Welcome to the jungle !!
I too started wet shaving due to skin issues caused by the multi-blade disposables. I just wish I had discovered it much earlier on in my life. Oh well.
Welcome Brent! Your going to love this site! Joe
Just started with my RA set from SRD... LOVE IT
Hello :)
I live in St. Paul, not to far from you. If you ever want to get together to talk about razor stuff just let me know.
I will send you via PM my contact details.
There are a good number of us here in the TC. :)
Just click on my avatar to send me either a PM or email.
I highly recommend looking Randy up, he is a gentleman and a scholar & you could cut your learning curve in over half just by having a mentor like him close by!
Welcome Brent. There is a wealth of knowledge here for both disciplines.
Shave well & shave often.
Welcome aboard Brent. And your more than welcome.
