Hello All,

I got interested in straight razor shaving back in the summer of 2010. Didn't have the money to pull the trigger so I kinda forgot about it. Right before Christmas I was looking in the mirror and remarking to myself how the safety razors I was using were giving me an awful, awful shave (and I'm not a hairy guy, can't even grow a beard!). That's when i decided to put a straight razor on my list for Christmas.

I ended up with a nice Colonel Conk (that research on ye ol' straightrazorplace has lead my to believe is a dovo). Since then I've gotten a nice brush and some nice Truefitt and Hill soap, a norton 4k/8k as I want to learn to hone, ordered a totally destroyed wade and butcher from Ebay for honing practice.

I'm excited to be onto such a great ritual and I enjoy every shave thoroughly!
