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 razors is totally what you need. Deciding what razor grind and size you really like is a bit of a rabbit hole.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

There’s a ton of great info and Gents to help you here.
Glad you are enjoying the Straight shaves so far. It takes time to really get it. About 100+ shaves to be honest.
Check out the LIBRARY there’s a lot of good stuff there
Ask questions and most of all
Have fun!!!!!Look sharp and smell nice for the ladies.~~~Benz
