Hello from the great white north!!
Hello all. My name is Steve hailing from Newmarket, Ontario, and I like many here am new to straight razor shaving. Just ordered my first bit of kit and can't wait for it to get here. I purchased a Dovo 6/8 blade, along with the balance of the required accoutrements. I can't beleive it took me 41 years on this earth to come around but here I am! I'll keep you all posted.

Welcome to SRP, eh!
You'll love straight razor shaving and everything that goes along with it.
Again welcome to the club, Steve.
Is it over there or over yonder?

Hi Steve & welcome to SRP. I see you have had many suggestions so just be patient & take your time is the main thing, learn to strop & go from there. You can practice stropping with a butterknife so you don't cut your strop & also dull your good edge like many of us did when we first started out. If you do cut your strop, you can sand it out or if it got a slice, you can glue it back down with CA (superglue) or rubber cement.
Great to have you here & ask questions anytime.
Good luck my friend.
