    Default Hello from a tire kicker.

    Hello my name is Brent I am from Illinois. I have been thinking of getting into using a Straight razor for a while now. I found your site through a cigar forum I am on. I didn't realize the commitment this would be. I am very interested in learning this lifestyle. I will admit it will take a little time before I get started. Thanks for having this site and you all sharing your knowledge. I look forward to becoming a member of this site.

    Welcome to SRP Barndog! If you check the classifieds you will find that its not so expensive to get started on a budget, there really is a minimal amount of kit needed to enjoy this hobby, if you can get a good razor and strop online you can get a good brush and soap at most discount and drug stores. It is when you wish to step up a notch that will cost you.

    Welcome to SRP!

    Yep, you can get started for the cost of a pack of cartridges...or close to it. The classifieds have razors pop up every couple days that are in the $40 range. After that, it's just a matter of grabbing a strop, brush, and some soap.

    Welcome to SRP. Never thought of this as a lifestyle but I think you're right.
    I never wanna shave any other "way" . Hope you enjoy it as much
