    Default Hello

    Hi,
    Im brand new to straight razor shaving. I'm 18 and I love shaving with straight razors now. It's a blast. I'm the only one know of that does it, so I kind of feel like part of an elite group. I look forward to shaving now.

    I think many of us find that we're on our own with it, that's why we congregate here!
    Welcome along.

    Welcome to SRP. The only way to shave for me anymore. Look forward to hearing your thoughts and/or questions if you have any. Or if another member has a question that you can answer don't be bashful.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Welcome to SRP, you sure are part of the minority now

    I still get goofy looks from people I know and folks at work when they find out I really shave with a straight LOL...

    Everyone I know asks if I'm crazy when I tell them I shave with a straight razor.

    Welcome to SRP...Happy to have you on board.

    Don't worry about the naysayers...There's nothing crazy about straight razor shaving. It's just one of the best ways to shave.

    Take care--and smooth shaving.

    I feel good shaving with a straight. I just chuckle when people tell me I'm crazy because I know my shaving is healthier and better for my skin, I'm getting a closer shave, and I'm enjoying it. People are fairly skeptical when I say 1 blade is better than 5 and suggest they convert.
