50 yo newby to straights. Been shaving everyday since I was 16, started on a safety quickly went to electric, then returned to blades and canned cream. Got a brush and soap/scuttle for Christmas and today was my first experience with a straight, (honed by Lynn, and boy its sharp). Managed to nick myself and didnt' even feel it, that's how sharp. But my cheek is the smoothest its been since a former Barber shaved me once with a straight.
Welcome!
It sounds like you are off to a great start and, with a razor honed by Lynn, you know you have a great shave ready edge..!
Just take things slow, enjoy the ride and welcome to the forums..!
Good luck and keep us posted!
Welcome to SRP! It's never too late to start straight shaving. I was about your age when I started. Be sure to read through the WIKI on the menu bar above and ask questions. Congrats on a great start!
