Thanked: 0Newbie from Ontario, Canada Checking In
Hello all. I've been using a safety razor for awhile now and have been interested in getting into straight razor shaving for some time. Not long ago I purchased a shavette to get a feel for it without committing a lot of money. I've gotten pretty good at it and I'm ready to take the next step. I have a Boker 5/8 King Cutter and a leather stropping board in my cart to get me started. I'm just waiting for a reply from the vendor to a question I have and will pull the trigger. I've suffered the acquisition disorders with wet shaving and pipes so I have a good idea what I'm in for on that front I've found some great information here in the short time I've been lurking and look forward to hanging out.

Welcome to SRP!!
A lot of great folks and info here to get you on the right track.
Not sure where you're buying your razor from, but odds are it won't be shave ready. I could be wrong, but they usually aren't.
Why not check the Buy/Sell/Trade section here. You'll be getting a quality razor that is shave ready. The link is at the top of the page.
Whichever way you go, enjoy and have funLook sharp and smell nice for the ladies.~~~Benz

Hi Mike, I'm near Chatham.
I've had some great shaves with the new razor since last post. Time to get looking into honing now. Down the rabbit hole I go!
