So I thought I would say hello an tell everyone a little bit about myself an this hobby.

I've been straight shaving for 3 or 4yrs now. I started with a illinois 206 an a Dovo Best Quality that was supposed to be shave ready hahaha. The fist few shaves were horrible an so I started reading all I could, (mostly from this forum) an found that it was not shave ready so I purchased a franz swaty BH an all the hones needed ( as I am a do it yourselfer) naniwa ss 3,5,8k an a chosera 1k an a DMT8" an everything has been great since. I now have 15+ razors an a nice 3" buffalo strop 1 boar 1 badger brush with my newest aquisition being a nos puma 5/8" W/coffin dirt cheap(yay me). During this time I have restored a few of the razors I now use an love every aspect of this hobby anyways thanks for reading an all the info you seasond members have posted that helped in my journey hopefully I can now help some of the newer people with some of my expierence.
