Hello, Face. Welcome to Straight Razor Place!
A ton you will learn! Firstly, thank you for your service.
Secondly, check out the Library tab at the top of the forum for a great collection of knowledge and information. What you can't glean from that, feel free to ask!
You'll get better information from seasoned members here, but welcome aboard and enjoy the new challenge!

Welcome to SRP. Glad to have ya in the group. Ask lots of questions and post pics of your razors. We like razor porn.
One small tip to help you in your trip to a comfortable shave is... shave the lather, not the face.
I am outside of Boston in a little town called Concord. I am not to far away from you though.
Welcome to the forum Face. Sounds like you got an SRP nearby so that is cool.
Interesting that no one has used that screen name on a shaving forum before, or been that big a fan of the A-Team
:roflmao
i thought it fit on both accounts! I love the name, and think I might keep it for awhile. I am glad someone picked up on the A-team reference though.Quote:

Hi and welcome aboard
I am looking to enjoy a fraction of my life that has become a not so great part of my day. I want to look clean cut, and still enjoy a smooth as a baby's.... face for my kids and wife.Quote:

I also enjoy something that takes me away from world issues that are on my brain at any given time...I have a sever case of PTSD (or so my therapist tells me). If stropping the razor and shaving takes me away for an hour then that's great in my book. I collect knives, and thought this would fulfill both these wants. I hope this helps in what you are asking.
Thanks, I was curious. A shave-ready razor and a strop is a good way to start as far as I'm concerned. Honing adds another dimension to things, which is why I asked as to your aims. If you're familiar with honing and stropping relative to your knife collection, you should get by just fine with razors, bearing in mind that there are some differences as to approach.Quote:
