I missed this subforum! I recently joined SRP to get some insight into the condition of my grandfather's rusted Puma; in my haste I neglected to introduce myself.

I'm a nineteen-year-old college student currently studying biochemistry and planning on going to medical school after I graduate. I've been interested in straight razor shaving for a while, and a few months ago, I started off with a Dovo Shavette and a handful of DE blades. I just got a proper straight, another Dovo, and I'm ready to get started.

EDIT: The title of the thread should be "pursued by a bear", my mistake.
