Thread: New from Maryland

I am new to wet shaving. Started using a shavette about a week ago. Interested in going to a straight razor in the near future, and had I known, what I have learned in the past few days I would have just jumped to straight from the beginning. I am steadily looking for information and trying to learn. Eventually I'd like to be able to hone and restore to lead to collecting. I've always been interested in vintage stuff. I have quite the collection of vintage fishing tackle, and wouldn't mind collecting vintage razors. I was lead to this site while researching honing and that lead me to join.

Thanks for having me.

Fisher, welcome to Straight Razor Place!

Hi and welcome. Any questions feel free to ask we are always willing to help new folks get started

Welcome to SRP a lot of great folks and info here.

Welcome! Although I'm in NC now I was born and raised in MD and lived there until 15 years ago when I semi-retired. Where in MD are you? The best way to start is with a mentor who may live near you. If you add your city to your profile you may get a message from someone nearby. Watch the Classifieds on SRP here for good starter razors at good prices.

Best wishes for a fun 2017!

I am in Southern Maryland. I plan on looking through the classifieds, I'd potentially like to get my first straight shave ready from someone reputable rather than a "shave ready" from eBay or anything like that. From what I have read most of those aren't exactly shave ready. Eventually I'd like to hone my own and possibly restore, but for right now I'm taking it one step at a time.

Great To Have Ya,,,,,,,,,,,Enjoy ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?,s Always Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!Ty

Good plan!

Welcome to SRP. Please ask many questions lots of helpful folks to help you in about any way they can. I don't think you would be disappointed in getting a straight over your shavette. There is little differences bit nothing that can not be overcome. Enjoy and check the library and wiki out lots of great information in there.
