Hello from California

Hi,
I am a wet shaver that is starting to get interested in straight razor shaving. I am shaving this month with a Feather AC SS with a Feather Professional blade. After a couple of rough days in the start, I am actually getting decent two pass shaves without injury. I am very active on another wet shaving site that focuses on safety razors and decided to start hanging out here as well to see what I can learn.

welcome mrchick. I'm a newbie as well. Still searching for my first SR. How did you settle on yours? How long is the blade on that SS? What replacement blades are you using?

Hi and welcome. Plenty of information in the library or searchs but any questions feel free to ask.

I chose this razor because I understood that it is the closest to a straight in how it's used. It gives me an opportunity to experiment without buying hones and a strop. I am using the Professional blades which are about two inches long.

I didn't know about the feather SS. This looks like a great way to get started in wet shaving. No strop, and sharp blades at a low cost. I like it! might pick one up.
