Hi everyone-

I've already done a lot of reading and researching on this site and decided I should get registered so I am able to ask questions when they inevitably arise.

I have been shaving with a DE Razor for about two years now. I stumbled into shaving with a DE when originally I was researching getting started with a straight. At that time I decided that I was best served with starting the DE route and have thoroughly enjoyed the process of learning and trying new things and searching for the perfect shave. However, the desire to try a straight never subsided and I just recently decided to take the plunge.

I ordered a shave ready razor from Larry at Whipped Dog and a poormans strop, expecting it to arrive in the next couple of days. In the mean time I've been reading as much as I can about technique in actual shaving and stropping, which seem like they will be equally challenging to get the hang of. Thanks to all the posters who are so helpful and willing to answers questions.

I look forward to getting started.
