New guy from Columbia SC and first Straight Razor Shave
Hello, Steve here from Columbia SC,
Thanks to HarryWally for setting me up with a vintage Boker Hindoo, which he honed up for me nicely, a really cool apple Burl brush he made himself and a strop. First SR shave went down smooth this morning. My lip got in the way only once. it learned it's lesson and is staying out of the way of sharp blades...
Been shaving for the past 30 years with throw-away cartridge razors and I think I have the straight razor bug. It took 20 minutes to scrape my face this morning but it was the most relaxing 20 minutes I'll probably have. (The soap kept drying on my face, I took so long.)
I wanna thank the community at SRP for the well put together documentation, howto's, videos and community support.
Steve
