Hello, Justaneye:

Welcome to Straight Razor Place.

I am impressed that you have decided on research first. The Wiki has a vast store of information and tutorials to help you understand what the world of wet shaving shaving with the straight razor is about. Read it and view as many videos as you can.

It will take you a little time before you are completely comfortable with the straight razor, but you shall arrive. We all have gone through that. In the meantime look around and ask questions. You have all the help you need from everyone.

I dare say, you are peeking into a colorful world that eventually will become your sweet obsession. We're delighted to have you with us.

Regards,

Obie
