New guy from New Mexico
Just order my first straight razor (and accompanying equipment) from straight razor designs Saturday. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here.

Nice! Enjoy the process. You might have a tough time at first but hang in there. It pays off in the end.

Wow! quite the welcome from everyone.
I got a Dovo Best Quality Black 6/8", 2" strop, and a Simpson Beaufort B4 Pure Badger brush. I've read through the beginners guides out there. Are there any videos anyone can recommend?
