I have been DE shaving for a while, have open combs, closed combs, slant, adjustable, stainless and my dad's vintage razors. I have a collection of brushes and make my own shave soap and after shave. Said to myself I would never go straight but now have been bitten by the bug. i have not purchased a razor yet but am researching heavily, boy it's fun. just getting my ducks in a row and wanted to say hello to all.
