Hi All,
New to the forums, but not new to wet shaving. Have used a variety of methods and have returned to the DE. Have some straights, but don't have the strop or the courage to try them yet.
Hope to get to know you all over the years.

Welcome to SRP. Shaving with a straight razor was similar for me to the first time I rode a fixed gear bicycle on a banked track velodrome. Scared the heck out of me but I went for it and fell in love with it. Check out the sig line with the link for more useful info and enjoy your shave. :beer1:
I'm still scared to try DE's :p I had no problem at all jumping on straight razors... DE's just give me the willies :p
Welcome to the site and enjoy :)
DiamondTim,
Welcome and hello from Hastings in the UK.
You will be surprised at how quickly you will pick up shaving with a straight :)
Good luck !
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
Welcome to SRP. May your first Str8 shave be a smooth one :)
Welcome! We're glad you have joined us!
I was nervous the first time I used a straight razor, but I love it now and I would never want to go back to cartridge razors.
Check out the Wiki, the beginners guide and the FAQ in my sig line below, as theres some great info there.
Good luck and keep us posted!
Thanks, I truly feel welcome here!:)
Hello, diamondtim:
I add my welcome, too. We are delighted to have you here. Yes, it is a good home.
I use both straight razors and double edge, and love both, each in its own way.
Regards,
Obie
