Thread: Hello from Hawaii

Hi, just wanted to say hello to everyone on the forum. I am brand new in straight razor shaving. I just ordered a
Le Grelot 6/8 Red Stamina today.
I also picked up a badger brush and soap dish and soap. I ordered a strop as well.
I am starting to watch all the videos on shaving now.
Hello to all and I am sure I will enjoy this forum because I have so much to learn and there seems to be a lot of great info here.

Hello, dtrdwngs:

Welcome to Straight Razor Place. We are delighted to have you with us.

You are starting with a fine lineup of shaving products. That Le Grelot is a sweet razor.

You also seem to have floated through the Wiki for a wealth of information. Good for you. If you have any questions, please post them.

Good luck to you.

Regards,
Obie

Aloha. Welcome to the forum. There is indeed a lot of great info here. I'm sure you'll be happy with the razor you purchased. Just take your time, and mind the angle of the blade while you shave, it's a very common mistake. Many guys blame the equipment out of the box. Let us know if you need help....

Welcome to SRP...

You've assembled a nice shaving kit there. Be patient with your progress. Take it slow. And if you have any questions about str8 razor shaving, please don't hesitate to ask.

Take care--and smooth shaving.

Welcome to SRP. I bummed around Maui and Oahu in the sixties. Slept on the beach many a night in my hippie days. You're starting out with a quality razor and I hope you ordered it shave ready.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. So far everybody here seems so supportive and friendly. My kind of forum.
I did pay an additional fee for a "shave ready" sharpening. This way, I will know how sharp it is supposed to be and I will also start out right.
I can use some suggestions for soaps, aftershaves, balms and everything else. Any ideas, suggestions or whatever would be nice. Thanks for all the help and support.
