Hey all! My name's Joe and I'm Cudarunners new apprentice. He found me at Albertsons and took me under his wing. I've been shaving with a straight razor for a few weeks now and I'm never turning back! I'm open to any and all friendly advice and tips and tricks. Thanks for letting me in this forum!
Have been expecting you Joe!
We will get you out of Cuda's bad habits in no time at all! :chapeau
;)
Hey Joe and welcome to SRP!

Most of his equipment came from the Mike Horn Foundation with me adding a few things in.
I'm impressed with him as while he's enthused he's also patient which as we all know is of the most important trait to learning this age old art.
Thank you for welcoming him into the fold :bow:
So a strange guy "found you at Albertsons" and he's teaching you about sharp things?
Sounds about right.
Have fun around here. You are in good hands with Roy but feel free to ask any questions here if you might want more than one opinion.
Hello Joe, welcome to the forum.

Hey Joe!!
Welcome to SRP!!!
There's a lot to learn and I know Roy will teach you right.
As said, any questions or second opinions, we're here to help you out.
Enjoy and have fun!!!
Welcome, Joe.
We've heard good things about ya, at least that's what Roy says, but we were all your age once...and I'm not seeing a halo anywhere..!! :rofl2:
But Roy is getting you straightened out, I see.
Wished I had someone to learn from when I started years ago. Had a rough start, and plenty of bad shaves till I found this forum, and the helpful folks within.
So enjoy, glad your hear your with our family of fine gentlemen. :tu
Hi Joe and welcome aboard
Hey Joe. Welcome to the forum. There are many aspects to indulge in, so look around.
Welcome Joe!
I too was coached by Roy. No hands on training and he kept telling me to slow down. I just couldnt learn slow so i went about it at my balls to the wall speed. I figured it out but it took me longer. Your in good hands. Remember what he shows and tells ya. The bad apart about learning this way to shave is it can o ly be done once a day. Some guys cant practice even once a day so it takes time.
Glad to have ya in the group.
Welcome!
I remember being that excited about shaving with a straight!! And then I started to get cocky and ... there was blood. Blood and flaps. Painful flaps. Mad ears, and a traumatized daughter. I must have started and stopped shaving with my straight I don't know how many times. It wasn't until I vowed that no matter what, every shave for a year would be a straight razor shave, that it all changed for me. After that year was done, the muscle memory was ingrained. I could jump from a straight to a DE without thinking a thing about it.
I learned a heck of a lot that first year. I still do. It's awesome way to shave! Moreover, without exception, wet shaving makes you a better man. A cooler man!! LIVE IT LOL!! Seriously though, Welcome.
Welcome to the forum. :)
Glad to have you Joe! You met a good guy at Albertson's, should have gone to the casino that night!
Walk away now before this "sport" gets into your blood & you are forever plagued with the Acquisition Disorders! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
Welcome to SRP, there is lots of great help here.
Cudarunner was very helpful and generous to me , just listen and don't ever think you got it because 10 shaves later you'll think you got it down again then 10 later you'll realize it keeps getting better and so on and so on
Welcome Joe.

Roy is a good man, he taught me too. Get all the info you can from everyone on the Forum who offers, experiment and see what works best for you. The best I can offer at this time, is take it slow, no one here is in a hurry. Lets all give Roy a hand! :bow
Welcome to the forum, Joe. You are fortunate to have Roy coaching you! Enjoy the shaves as they get better and better.
