G'day from down under! (Actually born in the UK and bought up in New Zild, so this ozzy slang thing is fake!) I have not started with straight razors yet- Purchased one a few days ago and wishing that I had found this site first- Ah well, she'll be right! Recently fell into DE shaving and have come down with SAD, RAD and perhaps even BAD - Feel like there wasn't quite enough Zen in it and so want to start with a straight razor to prolong the morning rituals- even if just once a week. Cheers, Tom
