Hello,
I'm Kyle and I live near Washington, DC in northern Virginia. I'm 28, and don't know anyone else who uses a straight razor, or ever did, but being a history buff, and someone who deplores waste (and disposable razor blades seem to waste space as well as money) my interest continued past mere speculation. I have been interested in straight razors and shaving for about eight months now, but have not yet made a move to buy one. There is a place down the street that sells Theirs-Issard razors for about $110, new, so I suspect that is where I will start. I'll keep reading the posts for ideas. I do have a question regarding shaving soap and mugs. If I put soap in a mug and use my brush to lather it up, won't the bar in the bottom turn into a useless muck?
Thanks, and thanks for any advice to a newcomer.
Kyle
