Hi everybody,

I'm new to straight razors and about to purchase my first. I'm glad that there is good advice and reviews on this site.
I don't think there is much to say - dry shaves have never worked for me, and I have a good electric razor that gives me a decent wet shave, and costs a fortune to replace the cartridges.

I'm also a knife nut and I'm not afraid to hone and strop - though I still don't have the super-duper fine hones SRs require.
