Thread: Introduce yourself!!!!!

Hi My name's Davis and i'm new here. I am just now getting into shaving because i was left my grandfather's shaving collection when he passed away 6 weeks ago. I thought all his old razors are really cool, and i'm just now learning how to use them.

Please do not discuss sales in open threads this needs to be dealt with in Pm's. I would also suggest that all of the new people just getting into this hobbie reading and educating yourselves on razor brands and values before selling off family collections. Just my 2 cents worth.

I'm sure there are a lot of us, well here goes. Have used the SR for about 4 weeks now. GREAT shave taking it slow at first but you learn more with each shave. Got the set-up from VBLLC and SRD. Great advice from these two sites and of course this one. Recomend buying and watching Lynn's video for all newbies. Also check out UTUBE. There you are I did it my first post.

Hello all
I'm originally from Scotland but now living in the south of Spain. I've been hanging out here for a while gathering data for my first SR purchase when I was surprised last week by a like-new Dovo from a friend who had never used it. It was supposedly bought shave ready but seems to lack an edge, certainly not passing the HHT. I know that there are a few options in the UK but I'd like to find honing services on mainland europe.

Anyway, thanks all for the copious information and I hope to be using the razor regularly in the coming weeks. On a side note I followed a thread about the the Santa Maria Novela shaving cream and happen to be in a coffee shop around the corner from their Madrid store. I'm heading over there now, hope that they're open

Total straight razor n00b, on here for pointers and research, and hopefully a decent strop at some point. Have only looked around a little, but the discission seems pretty cordial. That ought to be refreshing.

My Gawd, Missouri and Texas have got a lot of new intros! Whadda'ya guys do down there? Put something in the water? Your spring and summer meets should just about double!

O.K. How many of you newer folks are from Indiana and Michigan? C'mon, step up. Don't be shy.

Welcome to all and have fun!

Hello everyone. My name is Randy and I live in Northern VA just outside Washington DC. I have never used a DE or a SR but find myself very attracted to the idea. I have in the past shaved with soap and brush. While I was in the navy on submarine duty regular shave cream from cans were not allowed. I have just received my first DE and am looking forward to getting started. Thanks!

Hi Randy...Welcome to SRP.

I know you will enjoy your DE. It will go quite well with your soap and brush.

BTW...When you were in the service, what type of submarine were you stationed on? An attack sub or a boomer? Just wondering...

Fast attack .. 637 and 688 class. I may be sick but I really enjoyed sub duty ... Thoughts on a SR ... thinking of jumping in once I use the DE for a few months. Thanks for the response and Happy New Year!
