Hello all - another new guy here. I'm not actually shaving with a straight yet, but have been wanting to for some time. Never really got up the guts to do it. I'm right about there now, and joined up here because I haven't the foggiest clue about what to get, from where, how to do it, and so on. Will probably be spending some time reading through the posts, the wiki, watching videos, etc. as I get some cash together to make the initial purchase. First I have to figure out which to get! It's so intimidating... and since I'm definitely on a budget, I worry about getting the "wrong" one the first time around. Even after wading through the Classifieds, I still am hesitant.

Anyway, really REALLY glad to know a place like this exists... makes the whole thing a bit less intimidating, and oddly enough, a bit more exciting to get started...
