Hello from Tn. recently happened upon this site while researching straight razor shaving. I love these forums they are a wealth of knowledge. About a year ago I ditched my multi blade cartridge gimme all your money for four refills razor for a DE and some shave soap. I like the ritual of the shave so much I thought I would take it to the next step and get my first straight razor. I have done much research here and am looking forward to more... Hope to talk to yall soon.
