Hello from central Florida

Hello all, this is Ian in Florida.
Out of curiosity, I looked into straight razor shaving recently, and decided to give it a try.
One of my better life choices lately.
Tried my first shave, and cursed the man who sold me a dull cruel blade.
Came to this site, read up a bit.
Shaved again, cursed myself for putting a sharp razor to my face the first time without knowing what I was doing.
The second shave was the start of something beautiful. I keep reaching up and touching my face. All the elements, from the cream, to the aftershave, to the brush, have left me in a good mood all day.
Thanks straightrazorplace!

Welcome to SRP Ian.

Welcome, Ian!

The next wise life choice you might consider making is getting out of Orlando...or maybe Florida all together!

I was born & raised in the Tampa Bay area, and have spent some time in and around Orlando. The entire area soon to be known as "Orlampa" is a nightmare, in my opinion.

Anyhow, just had to throw that in there.

Again, welcome.

In addition to its numerous forums wher SRP members are willing to offer their own hard earned shaving advice , there is a wiki which is chock-full of information about razors, honing, stropping, even taking professional looking photos of your str8 razor(s).

Welcome! What razor did you get?

KingOfBreifne,
I have traveled the world (southern Japan, and Asheville, NC are my current favorites), but as long as the parents are here, I keep coming back.

mrmaroon,
I purchased a Dovo, half hollow, 5/8 straight razor. I like owning things with a little history, so as soon as I can figure out what makes a good straight razor, I'll be looking for something as vintage(yet still functional) as possible.
