First post from an "old time" newby.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the input that has made this such a great tome of shaving knowledge. It's certainly given me some guidance since I started thrashing my face with a large wedge in January this year.
I was doing well until I moved from the cheapest can of gell to a recommended pricey cream; nicked myself every day since, even with a good lather!
Now looking to give Mitchell's Wool Fat a try, slapped on with a fat Simpson's.
Regards,
Michael
Michael,
Welcome and hello from Hastings :)
The nicks etc are part of the right-of-passage for straight shavers - wear then with pride :)
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
Welcome to SRP!
Take a look in the Get Together forum... We're planning another RazorCon event for sometime in the next month or two in London. The plan is to spend a night at a B&B and talk, trade, drink and hone all weekend while stepping out for great food.
I was hoping there would be another event in the UK.
I'll see if I can make it.
Yep, that's the plan. :D I'll be bringing a bottle of scotch I think, and maybe a few cigars. I might even bring some razors and hones lol...!Quote:

Scotch? Did someone say Scotch? Darn, I wish I lived in England!
Should have seen me after my first straight razor shave. Looked like I had smallpox. Could have used the scotch then.
Scotch tape more like....
I'd rather bring a crate of bourbon.
Ok, you bring the bourbon and I'll bring the scotch! :D
Salivating.....
