Hello and welcome to SRP.
Unlike golf, if you have patience and practice at it, you will become very good at straight razor shaving.
Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun.

Welcome TG

Speedster, will be handing you one smooth shaver.

Glad to have you with us, we'll help in any way. Just holler
In the appropriate thread.

A tip for you...Shave the lather, not your face. That's all the pressure you need. Its about hair reduction, not hair removal. That's the reason behind the multiple passes.

Above all, relax and have fun....and don't turn your head to look, while the blade is at work.

Welcome to the forum. That is a great offer you got. I wish I had gotten my my first straight honed by someone here. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. A sharp razor is not necessarily a shave ready razor. The more you learn here (and apply!!) the easier it will come to you. It seems like the times I've shaved regularly for several days with a straight is when I've learned the most vs just using one every once in a while.

Dang it, Peter! You handily beat me to the obvious golf joke. I was reckoning that anyone masochistic enough to play golf should easily find the patience to learn this hobby.

I sent @terriblegolfer the link to Glen’s YT video he made in 2012 (back in my had-hair days).

Thanks everyone for the welcome. Thanks especially to Speedster who I was able to meet and talk with. I'm looking forward to having a truly sharp straight razor to learn with. I can't believe I'm getting this done for free, pretty awesome! Time to start learning to shave and strop, to be continued...
