Good morning, all! I realized I originally posted this in the incorrect place, so here it is again...

My name is Glenn and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I had been enjoying shaving with a DE razor for a few years but have been fascinated by straight razor shaving for a long time. On a whim, I recently took the plunge and bought a serviceable straight, watched Lynn's You-Tube video and bought his DVD and am now enjoying the pleasures (in earnest) of the gentlemanly shave!

I then quickly purchased a good strop and 2 nice razors from SRD; a Ralph Aust and Dovo! I've now shaved with both of these and am on my way to having a razor rotation! I also ordered a "Le Luxe" (Barber's Notch, 6/8, in 01 Steel) from Jacob Ray on a whim. (Any information on this maker's work would be welcome!) The acquisition syndrome has begun in earnest!

This site and Imperial Shaving have been great resources for me as I begin, so thanks to all who contribute and work to introduce the uninitiated but interested to "true" shaving. I'm at the sometimes irritating beginning of learning a new skill, but all-in-all, it's a pleasure to be here!
