Hello from Philadelphia, PA
Hello, I’m Angelo and I’ve been shaving with a straight razor since May of 2017. I live in Philly born and raised. I love wet shaving in general as it really is the best way to shave. I have a bit of family history with straight razor shaving; my great grandfather on my fathers side was a barber and I still have his barber chair and strop from the 1920’s. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

Welcome to SRP. Ask questions, read the library, keep the pressure light. Like folks have said, sha e the lather not the whiskers. That one helped me to keep pressure light. Enjoy and hope your sha es get better all the time.
It's just Sharpening, right?

That’s great advice Gasman. So far I can shave 1&1/2 passes with a straight razor and the other 1&1/2 passes with a safety razor.
