New guy from Minnesota
Hi. I joined SRP last month so it's about time to formally introduce myself. I am fairly new to straight razors, my first SR shave was last month. I have been wet shaving with a DE for 6 years prior to that.
With the SR shaving has become fun again. I have spent many hours reading about shaving and honing here.

Where are you located in MN?
If you are near the Twin Cities, then check in with Randydance062449 for one on one help. If you are near Rochester, I'll be happy to help you. Either of us can show you a lot of toys and how to properly use them.

Welcome to the forum. You will definitely have more fun shaving the proper way.
I highly recommend getting together with Randydance or Utopian for one on one instruction if you are able. You will really appreciate how much you can learn in such a short time.alex1921 likes this.--Mark

+1 I had the opportunity early on to meet up with some experienced shavers and honers when I was starting out. It is a HUGE help.

Welcome to SRP!! Another +1 on getting face to face with some members to help streamline things for you... This rabbit hole gets as deep and wide as anyone could ever want.
