Hey SRP,

I've been lurking these forums on and off for the past three months and I finally got around to making an account.

I'm coming to you from just below the Arctic Circle in beautiful and balmy Nunavut, Canada! I'm actually from just outside of Toronto but I've been relocated up here because of my job.

I've had an interest in straight-razors for a few years, but never really seriously pursued it that much. My fiancee has known that for a while, and last Christmas she bought me my first straight!

I still haven't used it yet though. But that's why I'm here!

Please have patience with me, because I will probably ask all the same questions you guys have gotten before, plus a million other ones you thought were too stupid for anyone to ask to begin with.
