Long time lurker! Bout time I joined you venerables!
Hey guys,
I'm Nathan, and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm 35, an architect living in sunny Southern California. I've been DE shaving for about 5 years, and straight razor shaving for about 1 year.
My first razor was a Dovo Special, which I've been up learning how to do it all...honing and stripping. I just picked up my second razor, a Boker Silver Steel 6/8 the other day, so I can't wait to try it out!
My next endeavor is getting into a vintage straight, which leads me to me joining you all. I'm confident with the centuries of combined knowledge on this site alone, that I'll be spending way too much time with y'all!
I'll be posting shortly with questions regarding a particular vintage razor to start with, but until then, thanks for the welcome!

Welcome, Nathan!
