Thread: New member

Welcome!
Plenty of great advise here. If you are new I will say that there are a lot of mentors here with a ton of experience. Some have different focuses (shaving, honing, restoring, brushes, forging, etc) but all of them try to give solid advice based on experience.

That has me thinking more about my own approach....

Hi and welcome to the Forum. A little one on one with "Outback" is going to be an eyeopener. I had been shaving on my own for about a year and was fortunate enough to have a member give me some personal attention. That was a life changer, hang on help is on the way. It wouldn't hurt to keep reading, our library is a good source of info. if nothing else you'll pick up on our jargon.
