    Default Hello from Virginia

    Hello all. I am excited to be a new member here. I have been a wetshaver for about four years or so, but I haven't picked up a safety razor since I got my first straight a month ago. I am having a blast so far, and while I am struggling a little with my neck, my technique is slowly getting better. I am already contemplating my next straight (you need at least two, right?).

    Welcome to the forum.
    Two..!! Yeah, that'll work, but more is better, I think.

    Welcome to the forum. Two razors is totally what you need. Deciding what razor grind and size you really like is a bit of a rabbit hole.

    80+? And I thought shaving soaps was a deep rabbit hole! I'm sure it won't be too long until I have fallen in completely.
