Happy shaver in Australia
Back in July '08 I decided to try shaving with a straight razor after doing some research about eco-friendly sustainable shaving. I quickly realised that straight razors were not only more eco-friendly, but also gave a far superior shave. And they were enjoyable and rewarding as elegant tools that one could have pride in. I was hooked!
I'm not sure why I never found SRP in my voracious newbie reading/learning addiction back then, but I have recently discovered it while searching for tips on cleaning and restoring old razors. I thought I might as well join the crowd, and pop in to say hi.
Coincidentally, just a week ago I wrote a short piece about my straight razor experience to share with friends and family on my blog. If you're interested, that can be found at Shaving the bristles off a prickly eco-dilemma « Lachlan.Rogers.name
I'm currently experimenting with the art of reconditioning old razors to expand my set.
