Hello all, new forum member here.

I'm also new to the straight razor world. I started out wet shaving back in the summer and soon found that I couldn't beat the Merkur Futur/Feather blade combo.

Once shaving with a fully dialed-up Futur became routine, I moved on to a Feather AC DX. That was and still is a challenge, but the shaves became enjoyable when I stopped drawing blood so it was inevitable that I would join the ranks of straight razor users.

I now have a Ralf Aust 6/8 French point. I also have a restored 13/16 W&B on order off eBay from Mainely Straight Razors. Can't wait for that one to arrive.

I'm looking forward to learning some tricks and tips from the group and gaining a bit of proficiency over the coming months!
