Hi, I joined this forum about 4 years ago and am about to give straight razors another shot. I learned how to shave / used briefly and enjoyed the shaves but didn't like the blade upkeep. The past year I have gotten into knives and enjoy honing them so I'm excited to learn how to maintain my blades.
I just ordered a bunch of new stones, as well as a new strop and will likely use a straight tomorrow.
I have been active on other shaving forums, have lots of SE & DE razors, a few dozen brushes and at least 150 soaps.
Looking forward to the new adventure and this forum!
Thanks,
Dave
