Thread: Hello!

Hello! I'm Skippy. I'm new here. I own a complete straight razor set that I am very proud to own. I look forward to contributing here.

Welcome to SRP. How long have you been using your straights?

Oh, and what razors do you have in your set?

Almost 4 months. It's a special razor because when I ordered it I was feeling fine, but when I received it a few days later I was in a lot of physical pain. It was very hard to walk and stuff. I'm still healing today, it's been almost 4 months that I've been dealing with this injury. During that whole time I was learning how to use and strop my razor. It has been very fun using it during this difficult time.

I only have 1 straight. What I meant is that I have a:
Straight Razor
Sheath
Strop
Hone
Lapping Hone
Pasted Strop
Blade Oil
Maas

Welcome to SRP Gentleman !

Hello, Skippy:

You have spent time wisely on honing your skill with the straight razor.

Remember that mastering the craft of the straight razor and the ritual that comes along with it should not be rushed. Take your time to heal and learn.

Thank You. It worked out good because I was able to learn how to strop correctly while sitting down. I wasn't able to shave with it much because it hurt standing in one spot. Now I'm almost all healed and it's a ton easier to walk and stand in one spot.

Hello again, Skippy:

Thank you for your note. You're on your way, my good man, and we're looking forward to hearing more about your experience.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Again, welcome.

Regards,
Obie
