Hey I'm more of a face book guy but I just got into straights about 3 weeks ago I have a shave ready razor and a strop. Just looking for info to learn and progress in the hobby. I'm slowly leaving de's and have sold off more then I currently have. I started wet shaving in November of 2015. Said forget no shave November. And cancelled my dollar shave club membership. I am new father my baby was born in late April. Money is tight but I'm trying. I work at a insurance company so clean shaven isn't much of a option. I have purchased some hones under the brand Weiwei and I saw a thread here about them that's why I joined to ask the guy about them. But either way I purchased them last week so if they work will be happy. But I know as with any hobby this won't be the only set of stones I will ever buy. But with a new child my purchases have almost stopped. I have super sensitive skin. Soaps like b&m burn. Stirling burns. And even some vegan soaps burn. I guess it depends on the ingredients. I enjoy soap commander and Mason Boutique. I am in a group called the tlshave market and we are doing 30 consecutive straight shaves. I am on my 11/30 and it has been a wonderful experience. I have Lyn Abrams videos and am a subscriber. I apologize for grammar errors . Typing on a phone is all I'm working with right now in regard to access to the site . Hope all is well! We prayed for rain in texas. And man are we getting it.
