Hello from UK, well sometimes I am there
Hey guys, just popped along to join. New to straight razors, been using a TI spartacus for a couple of months, loving the whole process. I used to hate shaving but the missus likes me clean shaven. I kinda like having a challenge in life, into skydivinging, got an ol harley that kicks like a mule and is the most challenging girl I've ever known lol So anyway, I digress, I thought I'd have a crack and see if a straight razor shave would bring enjoyment back into shaving for me and keep her indoors happy...well it worked! I really enjoy the process.
So here I am, this place looks great and seems like I'll get a lot of great info here.
I work abroad on rotation and the internet is kinda lousy here so may not get on as much as I would like.
Anyhow, cheers
Al

Hello Al and welcome to SRP.
Sounds like you are going to be right at home here and fit in here rather nicely.
Watch out though...this rabbit hole is deep, probably bottomless.
Enjoy your time here on the forum and have fun.

Welcome Al. Glad to have ya in the group. And watch those rabbit holes. They branch off in lot of directions. 2 razors are best so you can get one honed and still have one to use. And 100 razors and you wont need to worry about honing for a long time.
