Hi From the Mile High City

Hi everyone. I'm just getting started with the whole straight razor deal. I'm still in the read everything and get even more confused phase. I'll most likely buy a razor come the New Year (if Santa brings me some $).
I started down this road by using a brush (boars hair) and shave soap. A simple, yet noticeable, improvement over how I was shaving. As always, I'm looking to improve, so here I am.
Does anyone have some useful thoughts you would like to share about Col. I. Konk products? I saw a starter set at a shop here in Denver for a decent price. It is a Dovo razor, strop, honing stone on a paddleboard. They were $200- $250, depending on which razor.
Other random things: I am learning to build bamboo fly rods, I enjoy just about anything in the mountains (fishing, hunting, 4x4, backpacking, camping, skiing, etc). So, if you are in CO, please drop me a line and give me an excuse to get to the hills.

Welcome!

As Sham says, you wont go wrong with a razor from SRD thats for sure..!

Make yourself at home and enjoy! :)

Hello from up the road about 100 miles.

Seek help and ask questions right here. You might even find a good deal on the razor and other items you will need right here also.

Also watch for the get together that could occur in your area.

Scrapcan, thanks. Where are you? Are you in CheyTown?
