    Default Just saying "Hello"...looking forward to getting to know everyone.

    Just wanted to send out an introduction for everyone.

    First off, "Hello". I have been lurking around the board for months, and felt that it was finally time to join and participate a bit.

    I have been using and enjoying straights for a few years now. I truly enjoy everything associated with this hobby, to a point that it has led me to pursue it as a profession. I am to start barber school in July and am throughly excited. Our local barber (we only have one in our small town) is looking to retire in a couple of years and offered his shop to me. So, it is off to school, work under him for a year or two, and then buy him out and strike out on my own. I can't wait to get started.

    Anyway, I intend to provide a whole range of services, including shaves to my future customers. I am hoping that I will be able to provide a shave that would be worthy of the wisdom passed along these boards.

    I just again wanted to say "Hello" and that I am here to learn, and help whenever I can. Please wish me luck in the months ahead.

    If anyone is interested, this is the school that I will be attending... Old Town Barber College Wichita Barber School Kansas Accreditation

    Take care, and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone.

    There are a few barbers here on the site, Gary Haywood is one here in London I believe. Have a look around and make yourself at home!

    Actually it is...I had considered it for a long time. With the chance to have someone help show me the ropes after getting out of school, and the chance to get my own shop so quickly, I just had to take the chance. Can't wait to get started.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone.
