Thread: New Member From North Carolina

Glad to have you. I just passed through Raleigh visiting family about 2 weeks ago. What kind of equipment do you have or are you looking for? It's a great time so enjoy it.

The saying is it takes 100 shaves before you really start to understand what your doing so no rush.
Expect some shaves with irritation as you learn pressure and angle.
Be sure to have a Pro-Honed Razor. This will remove the biggest part of issues in learning.
Practice stropping.
Learn to make lather.
A lot of things to learn before the shaves get easy so start with the basics.
And ASK QUESTIONS. We are here to help.

I want to thank you and all the other members who have been so kind to welcome me to the forum! I feel as though I know you all personally.

Welcome.

Welcome. From Gizzy to Einstein? Smart move!

I have very minimal equipment, i.e. Feather safety straight razor and a couple of low price brushes. I want to buy a 6/8" Ralf Aust straight razor, full hollow, round point and bone scales. If you know of anyone selling one let me know.

I got confused for a minute there. Not too hard to do. Guessing a name change happened. Better to do it now than later!
Keep an eye on the B.S.T. thread. Lots of stuff goes for sale around here. Although that is a very picky request. You never know! Its possible.

BUT, This should be posted in the W.T.B. thread. Keeps things in order and you will get a better chance of folks seeing your request.

BTW, Be sure to go over the rules of SRP. We are all easy to get along with when a mistake is made. Just spend a few minutes to read them and all will be fine.

Sorry for the mistake. I'm so use to using that handle. Here on this forum it's einstein33. Sorry you feel it's a picky request.

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum einstein33,

Nothing to be sorry about, we all make mistakes. Gasman is correct in that the Buy / Sale / Trade forum is where anyone looking to buy or sell would be looking and would give you the best chance to acquire or dispose of shaving related items.

As far as the "very picky request" goes, a better term would probably have been a "very specific request". By being that specific you rule out a lot of excellent razors that you really might want to consider.

Good Hunting!

Well-said, Diboll! Say! Do you have your PM's turned-on?

Thats what I was trying to say. Fancy words are a bit hard for this old truck driver. Thanks for clearing that up! I cant even spell "Specific" if the word wasn't in front of me right now.
