Hello from a new Portuguese member!
Hello, my name is Daniel, from Braga - Portugal. I just started yesterday (yayyyy) shaving with a 11/16 Wade and Butcher Special after starting this january shaving with SR of different types. I just bought this beauty a week ago and it was delivered to me shave ready. Unfortunately though I shaved yesterday with it, it was a tad difficult as I am currently healing from a 5th metacarpal fissure. I think I will wait a few more weeks until I'm fully healed to repeat a straight razor shave, that if I can fight the urge to do it hehe In the meanwhile I'll get the straight razor experience vicariously watching videos and visiting this great forum!
Cheers
And to introduce my "first":

No problem. That sounds like the perfect opportunity to try out shaving with your non-dominant hand. Unless, of course, you find that hand not quite as useful when performing delicate operations.
All kidding aside, you can use the interim time to study up on the various components of straight shaving in the Library and on the forum.

Welcome to SRP
I only got to briefly visit your country years ago, that is a place I always wanted to return to again for a longer visit

Welcome to SRP Daniel!!!!
As you've seen, a lot of great folks and info here. Like was said, check out the library.
And try the other hand if you want, many of us use both hands. Personally I find it much easier.
Heal up quick, and in the mean time.........
Enjoy and have fun!!!!CortoPT likes this.Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.~~~Benz
