Thread: Hello from Wellington, New Zealand

Aloha Zoran!

Welcome. Sounds like you are off to a great start. I personally jumped into straight razor shaving at 18 years old cold turkey, but I think your plan of gradually transitioning to a Straight is the way to go. Most would agree that a quality shaving soap or cream is superior to a canned foam, so your belief that you are already getting a closer shave (perhaps smoother would be a better word?) is somewhat common.

The Library here is fantastic. Make sure you use it. I've been straight shaving for decades, yet there are guys here that have forgotten more than I know, so the members here are amazing in depth of knowledge.

Enjoy!
