Howdy from Acworth, GA!
Strop and razor and Lynn's DVD showed up in the post yesterday. I figure on getting started in the next day or two. Suffering from a cold, so may wait a bit so I don't sneeze while shaving my neck. I've been wet shaving for over 5 years, first with good prep but a Trac3. Moved up to a DE recently and decided to go all the way with a single blade. I took the test on another site and for the most part I should be a straight razor shaver. My motorcycle goes "potato-potato-potato" instead of whining like a snowblower on meth. Although I don't shoot blackpowder, I do shoot Single Action Armies and an 1860 Henry. When I'm not typing on the keyboard, I write with a fountain pen.
I'm looking forward to the challenge of single blade shaving and learning a bunch of new skills. I'll report on that first shave soon. Wish me luck.

Welcome to the site. I don't shoot black powder, but I do shoot. I also write with Fountain pens, and my bike goes Potatoe, Potatoe, Potatoe. So, your in good company.
P.S. If you ever get tired of the 1860 Henry, I have a good home for it here, in the South....

Good luck, and welcome aboard.
Seems you got a good outfit and ready to go. I don't have the DVD, but I hear is chock full of good info and advise, so out of respect for those who know better than me, I'll refrain from giving you advise. :)
While my bike does not speak veggie, it's a cruiser and I manage to keep up with the big boys. No black powder, but that Henry sounds like something good to have.
I'm curious about the test... I've been using a straight razor without a license for some time, and I'm worried the man may come knocking.

Welcome!
You sound like the kind of guy to hang out with. I did sneeze during a shave (my first or second.) The styptic pencil came in very handy. Stopped the bleeding cold.
Best of luck with your first shave.
Best regards,
Johan
