Hello guys
Hello guys ,im fourteen years old i live in pa and im hooked on stright razors, It all started out last year when i did a report on how men shaved back in the 50s i came across this site and became hooked so i went and asked a local barber for and extra razor, I made a strop out of a wide leather belt and here i am i use my old german full hollow ground razor once a week to keep my stubble off. I never intend on ever using a multiblade throw away razor. I just wanna thank you guys so much for your incuragement it means alot

Welcome to SRP. Cool to be starting out with straight razors at your age. :tu

Welcome to SRP!
It sounds like you have been doing your homework (excuse the pun! :D) and finding out a lot about the hobby! Thats great, and it will definately stand you in good stead.
I just wish I'd started using straight razors when I was 15, it would have saved me a lot of grief. I dont think it would have saved me any money though..! :D
Welcome again, good luck and keep us posted!

Hello, Deerhunter:
Welcome to Straight Razor Place. We are delighted to have you with us.
I wish I were 14 and starting out with the straight razor. I am an old geezer, however, but in the world of wet shaving with a straight razor that means little. Young and old makes no difference: as long as you shave with the straight razor.
Oh, by the way, the old geezers here are cool dudes, too.
Regards,
Obie

Welcome to the site and enjoy :) Have you started asking around the family members if anyone has some straight razors? I got one from my great grandfather and one from my grandfather. Great keepsakes that can be used to remember them for years to come :)

edit
i wanted to add this on the last post but i couldent get the edit to work, I have not been able to find anything on the (celebrated hollow ground razor) from w&b over the past year so if anyone could shed some light on my razor please do so, I know shes not pretty but she does the job.
