Been meaning to post since I joined a couple of days ago, just haven't gotten around to it.

Hello to all here. I've already learned quite a bit from looking around, and I'm sure I'll learn a good bit more as time goes on.

I just completed my first wet shave this evening. Did my cheeks with a straight razor and my neck with a DE. I got the straight on eBay before I found this site (now I know). It's an 11/16 Costa & Sons (Boston) that was sold as "shave ready" (honed to 16K and stropped). I don't have any experience with straight razors, but it seemed pretty shave ready when I used it. Cost me about $33.

Anyway, I've got some questions, but I'll ask those in the appropriate subforums.

Thanks.
