Thread: Count me in

Greetings, nice place y'all have here. I've been lurking for a while, and figured it was time to introduce myself, especially since I just anted up for the necessary gear.

So I'm out here in Iraq, doing what I have to do, and rumor has it there's this guy who shaves with a straight. I've never seen him myself, but as you might imagine, he has generated a lot of conversation. I started thinking to myself, "why would anyone want to shave with a straight razor?" So I did some research, and after doing a lot of reading (mostly on this site), now I'm thinking to myself "why WOULDN'T anyone want to shave with a straight?"

So I've been waiting, reading, and learning, and now that I'm about a week out from going home, I decided the time was right to make my purchase. I went with a wet shaving kit from SRD, everything I need in one convenient bundle. I had my eye on a Dovo Best Quality, but it turns out the current monthly special is for the Boker Edelwiess, so I went for it. It'll be great to go home, but now it will be just that much sweeter, knowing that my new adventure in shaving will be waiting for me.

I do want to say thanks to the moderators, and to all the members who have contributed their vast knowledge to this site. It's a great resource, and I look forward to learning more.
