Welcome to the manly art of straight razor shaving. Ii is a morning ritual I look forward to every day. Where in Indiana?
Welcome to the party!
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome aboard, Slim. What razor n strop did you get.?
Make sure that's its been honed beyond the factory edge. The worst thing you can do in starting this venture, is trying to shave with a razor that's not up to the job. Another is not proper pre shave prep, and a poor lather.
A must, is learning to strop properly. If done incorrectly, you'll destroy the delicate shaving edge.
I highly recommend you look thru the beginners section of the forum to get more acquainted with things.
Glad to have ya with us.
Welcome to the forum.
Stropping skills are under rated as far as importance.
Skin stretching and holding is another one that is not mentioned near enough.
