Hi All, I've been wet shaving for the last few years and with the help of a good friend who passed his starter gear to me embarked on the path of shaving with a straight razor. What felt like a months passed before I really feel comfortable holding and stropping my straight but after sacrificing a strop to the learning process I can say I'm 'ok' enough to get my 3 passes to a great feeling shave.

Big thank you to this forum where I lurked for a while combing through the wealth of knowledge and experience to apply to my own experiences and shave. Looking forward to contribute and interact with the fine members here and improve my skill move further down this path I've embraced!

Started honing in recent weeks and definitely not an easy skill to acquire... but here we go!
