    Default Newbie from MN

    Hello all,

    my name is Jeff & I'm new to straight razor shaving. I've been at it for around 6-7 shaves now & am loving it. I'm just starting to get the hang of things enough to not have to finish up with a DE. I currently have one straight, a few DE's & one SE razor.

    I met a few of you at the recent St Paul meet.

    Looking forward to learning & contributing where I can.

    Thanks Rod!

    I've shaved with the Gem one time so far & besides naturally wanting to angle it out a little, it shaved great.

    Hello Jeff

    I am sorry we could not spend more time together at the razor meet. Any time you want to get together for some 1 on 1 help just contact me and come over to my home in St. Paul. I will send you a PM with my contact details. Just look at the "Notifications" above.

    Hi Randy, no problem whatsoever. I know you were busy & I ended up having to leave early.

    Thanks for the PM, I'll be sure to reach out to you if/when I ruin my edge.

    Hi Jeff, I was happy that you came to the meet and that I had the chance to meet you!
    The guys are talking about more meets in the area. I hope you can make it to those also.

    I took Randy up on this offer over a year ago. He's extremely skilled, a wise sage, a gentle teacher, and a generous friend. Take him up on it. You'll be glad that you did.

    I will be sure to take him up, I could always use a little help if for no other reason than to make sure I'm not messing anything up.
