Hello from Minnesota
Hi there all, feels good to join!
I've been wet-shaving with double edge razors (and Schick Injectors) for two years and now I'm entertaining trying straight shaving. I'm a little scared of trying, the straight edge looks intimating, but for some reason a spark of interest of the straight shave has tickled my mind and I can't shake it, so here I am. Aces!

Straight razors may have a learning curve but unless you do something crazy they are relatively safe. No worries.

Welcome, Read the links Lex gave you and do some browsing to answer your basic questions. Don't be afraid to post questions as they come. You'll usually get a quick response around here.
May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!
