+1 CarrieM and I are looking forward to hearing from you. Drop us a PM. Well get you started on the right foot! I'm also in my 50's and having a great time with straight razors.

Hello Larry!

Warm welcome from cold Norway, nice to have you with us, good luck with your Straight experience.

Welcome to the fold Larry . As Obie already eluded to, there's no time better than now to start straight shaving.
As for eBay razors, PM a mentor/moderator regarding the blade you have in mind before picking it up...they will look for things newbies have a hard time seeing (like hone wear, pitting, etc...). it may save you the hassle over the long run

Also, I would take up CarrieM on her offer...PM her, JoeD or Dylan (Holli4Pirating) or others and hook up with them...they are a wealth of info for sure...I wish I lived in their neck of the woods too to be able to meet up. CarrieM may even set you up with some of her fabulous cremes .
