Welcome to SRP and thanks for your service. Smooth shaving ahead, just stick with it.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Hello, Redleg:
Welcome to Straight Razor Place, and to the world of straight razor shaving.
Honing your skill with the straight razor will take time, but you will get there with a big smile. Work on it and stay with it.
From a Vietnam veteran: Stay safe, my good man.
