My first remark is "Thanks to the developers of such a awesome site." I, like many people, been thinking or wanting to switch to a straight razor for sometime. Today I finally got the courage and invested into this almost lost forgotten art. My reasons. 1: To be able to teach my boys later in there life, still to young to shave so maybe I will have time to become proficient. 2: Bringing a self accomplishment to myself. Old tradition that in my belief after visiting this site everyone should start doing again.
The only bad thing, I bought my razor before seeing this site. I found it right after my purchase. Go figure. I have about two weeks before my razor will show up. So lots of time to go over some techniques. Pleasure putting this on. And hope everyone has close and nick free shaves.
