Wow, thanks I will check it out
Hi Ron & welcome aboard. You'll find plenty of great information on here just by clicking Library above & just work your way from the beginning. I'm sure you will find it interesting & a lot of fun so browse the website & enjoy. Have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Great to have you here.
Good luck my friend.
Thank you, I have read a bit of it already and found it to be very informative. Although I think Lynn Abrams videos on you tube have helped me the most. I have watched them many times and feel I am moving in the right direction.
Oh yes, I'm sure you subscribed to the channel. I did & it is very informative. After I started out & joined here, I bought the dvd from him but the Youtube video's are great. It's an addicting but good hobby & the best way to shave. I'm old school so I'm just that way. I do have an old Gillette double edge & a single edge for if I am in a hurry. Nothing beats a straight though, not in shaving anyway!Quote:

Welcome. I drive through Chattanooga once and a while from Augusta to Nashville. It seems pretty nice.
Welcome Ron. I believe once you have mastered the art, you will find way less irritation with a straight razor. Once in a while I'm in a hurry and I will shave with a shavette then I get ingrown whiskers. Never a been problem with a real straight razor.

I really like the results I have gotten so far. It is a lot better than the desposables I have dreaded using for 35 yearsQuote:

My shop is all manual machines and since Dad passed away, a staff of one..........me.:) I did apprentice three young high school guys in the last ten years. All three of them went to college, took up the trade, and are successes. It was a rewarding experience for me to share what I know and give them a head start in life.Quote:
