    Hello, handyman. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!

    This is the all around best video I have seen on learning to shave.


    I guess I'll echo previously stated advice...start out with a pro-honed razor, or two, and give the SRP library and credible youtube videos a good going over, don't hesitate to ask questions.

    Thanks. that video is very helpful. I will probably research that one a few times while I'm getting (re)started

    I'm feeling more like I did this morning than I do now.

    Well, you are on my front porch. PM me if you need some help, samples, or just to get together. You could also try out some other blades of mine to get a feel for what you might like. If you have already been to Adrian (Maggards), then you know how much your wallet can be in danger

    Well coach you sure got that right. I'm just getting started and I already have made 2 purchases. The Sheffield from Maggard and this one that came in the mail today.
    the blade looks pretty good. Straight, no cracks

    I prefer to support the local people too. I rather spend money in a shop where the owner is there working.
