Yo, I joined

Ok, so i've been lurking on this site for some time now, I have gotten so much info l figured it was time to join. Thanks to every one that's posted with the same questions and answers I have been looking for.
I started using a straight (brand X) about 5 months ago to see if I would like it, as it turns out I fell in love with the shave, and I NEVER liked shaving, go figure. About 2 months ago I bought a Boker celebrated extra hallow ground with bacote wood scales, this razor put brand X to serious shame. Brand X is now a hone practice tool so not an actual waste of money, to be honest Im glad I bought the brand X.

Thanks and glad to be here.
Gerry

Welcome to an older but better way of shaving from SE Washington State USA.

Glad to see that you've been doing some research instead of diving head first into this age old art.

If I can be of any help, please let me know. :tu

Welcome. I think if brand x made you fall in love with straight shaving then you did in fact get more than your money's worth.

Oh I figured some one had used Bugs at some point in time, that's always been on of my favorite Toon's.
I'll try this one for now

Thanks to every one for the welcome I'm sure I'll have a question sooner or later, at this point I'm still reading through the various post's that interest me.

Welcome to SRP! Brand X?

I think he is referring to an inexpensive brand produced off shore and has not specified the brand in an attempt to avoid the rants that periodically take place when some of the off shore brands are mentioned.

I always enjoyed brand Z myself:shrug: Welcome to SRP Jersey man.

Welcome dude. Got a Boker extra hollow myself. Those things are quick to take an edge.

Sweet shave, it took a little while to figure out the best angle to use, for me it's nearly flat to the face along with short strokes.

Don't get me wrong I like the brand X and I do still use it, luckily I'm pretty fair on the hones so I was able to bring up the edge with some work.

p.s. South Jersey exit 0.

Welcome aboard(strop and lather, strop and lather, then shave)

Welcome aboard Gerry. I know you have been looking around but it's like a never ending source for wet shaving. Ask questions anytime you get stuck somewhere or don't understand something. Yo, it's a pleasure to have you here. :beer1:
Good luck my friend.
