Matt;

Welcome to the SRP Forum!

I know you are probably already familiar with the site, but I am going to give you my standard welcome. Tell us what items that you have in your kit and as always pictures help.

Here is a link to the SRP Beginners Guide to Straight Shaving. This will help you with the things you need to know before you begin your experience with a straight razor.

Here is a link to the SRP Library. This will help you with pretty much anything relating to shaving with a straight razor.

Thank you so much Lex. I am unable to supply pictures cause I'm waiting for everything to come in.but i had made a list a couple of replys ago. If unable to view it please let me know and I'd gladly re do it. The only thing I'm lacking is a strop. And I'm going to have to sit, think and write out all the questions i have. So that segment will come at a later time haha
