    Thumbs up Hello to All from Cornwall UK

    Hi everybody,
    After a lifetime of shaving using all the modern multi-bladed gadgets, and hating it; I have finally made the best decision I could and taken to SE shaving
    I spent a long time looking at all the different Razors, Brushes, Strops, Cremes etc and became really confused with what sometimes was contradictary advice
    But finally and with great relief I found this Forum and managed to get my head up above the clouds
    I have just finished watching the video made by Lynn Abrams and found it most helpfull and inspiring, thanks to Lynn.
    I've already used his advice to purchase some bits and pieces. And also I have now got a clear idea of when and how to strop and when to hone. (All those different pastes!).
    Anyway I just thought that I would say hello and break the ice as it were.
    Looking forward to a long and helpful association, and if any of you are ever down in sunny Cornwall (its raining at present)please drop in for a "cuppa".
    Mike
