Hello,

I hope to find the information here to get me started shaving with a straight razor, without falling deep into the world of straight razor and spending money I do not have buying more gear than I need! Perhaps a naive plan, at least from what I have seen of the other members here and their collections, but it is my plan. We'll see how I do.

I often let my beard grow out for a week or two, and I am not sure how well a straight razor will take off that much growth... any ideas from other heavy-bearded members?

Thank you all for the information posted here. I think I will have fun finding my first (and only!) razor here.

José
