Aloha!

I have a pad in Florida as well as Hawaii so I am a part time Floridian, but a Hawaiian resident.

Welcome to the Straight Razor Rabbit Hole. I started Straight shaving before I touched a DE, so I did it in reverse, but it's all good. Once you master the blade, you will find it is an amazing way to shave.

Enjoy the journey. Remember that you are not going to master the razor in a few days. Have patience, study the videos on Youtube (especially the one by Lynn Abrams regarding using a straight Razor "Straight Razor Tutoral for Beginners") and enjoy the hunt for your first razor.
