Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Nathan and I have yet to have my first straight shave.
Like many of the members here I have been visiting this site to research straight shaving before I joined the forum. The last thing a site dedicated to preserving a lost or somewhat forgotten art needs in another troll. That being said, I'd like to thank the members that have put so much effort into this and other sites to help beginners.
For the last few weeks I have been trying to learn as much as possible before I start throwing my money at ebay auctions not knowing what I'm actually bidding on. I recently have been checking out the classified section since I would much rather support a member on SRP. I've contacted one of the members with an ad up but it's July 4th weekend so I'm sure I won't be hearing from that person for a few days. I've tried in vain to bid on some razors that are sold by altima55 on ebay since I read a thread on SRP referring this seller. I am no ebay sniper so I will probably continue to lose auctions.
That led me to the give away contest thread and thought, why not? Although, I couldn't put myself into the raffle without at least introducing myself. I didn't want my first post to be me asking for free schwag. It will be my second haha.
So there you have it, one of the longest intro threads that will be half read this year. Thanks for having me and I look forward to learning more about this BBS.
