Hi from northern Nevada!

Hi everyone,

I just got into straight razor shaving and discovered this site whilst shopping for a razor! I am excited about learning more about the hobby and will very likely buy a razor from a fellow forum-goer in the near future.

Welcome to SRP!
We would be more than happy to help you along the path to straight razor shaving. Begin by reading the info in our library on beginners learning to straight razor shave. Keep an eye on the buy, sell, trade thread and you can pick up a truly shave ready razors from one the guys here and you're on your way. Two razors are the best way to start but one will get you going.
Ask any questions along the way and we will be happy to give you our opinions. Here's to one of the finest shaves you have ever had. :beer2: But don't think it's going to be right away. The rule of thumb is: After 100 shaves you start to know what your doing and the great shave is just around the corner. Be patient and go slow!

Welcome to SRP! The B/S/T area is a great place to pick up some good deals on shave ready razors. There's a great deal on a lesser-known, but obviously well-ground German blade available right now for $65.

If you have any questions, always feel free to ask. :)

Hello and welcome to SRP. I love Reno. I was born in "The biggest little city in the world" many, many years ago. At the time, my father sold neon signs, and sold Bill Harrah a sign for his first business, a bingo parlor!

So Harrah started off with the easy prey first? Interesting. Gambling must be a helluva drug. ;)

Vintage neon signs are fantastic by the way. From my most favorite pizzeria in the world, Antonio’s Flying Pizza (Houston, TX). OBTW, both arms “move” AND the pie flies endlessly up/down! ::>>

Welcome to the never ending rabbit hole of shaving that leads to both fulfillment and a lack thereof.

Theoman's Quantum Theory of Wet Shaving? Tell us how to shave Schrodinger's Cat (he really hates the water). ;)

This is what happens when a nerd tries on comedy while disregarding the fact that his audience may not all be nerds:

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects.

It is actually one of my favorite conceptual reference points. Bonus that he was in my neck of the woods.

Quantum physics is some awesome stuff but hurts my brain to conceptualize. Sorry for going... :OT
