Hey all,

My name is Ross and I am just embarking on my straight razor journey. I have spent the last month or so looking into and researching this art form. I had no idea how in depth or how much knowledge was out there about the subject and have been blown away by the results.

I decided to join SRP because in most of my searches I kept getting routed to different SRP forums. I have not yet purchased my first straight, but right now I am leaning towards starting off with one of the Dovo or Boker wet shaving packages from SRD. Any reccomendations?

I live in San Diego but have not seen a lot of information about straight razor shaving locally. We do have one of The Art of Shaving stores, but their prices seem to be inflated compared to what is available from other vendors reccomended on SRP. One of our local cities is renown for its antique shop collection, and I am excited to start exploring their shelves for classic straights.

I am really excited to be a part of this lifestyle and look forward to talking to anyone willing to educate or just chat with.
