Hello Gentlemen and greetings from London.

I've wet shaved most of my adult life (apart from a brief obscene dalliance with an electric face grinder at the age of seventeen but we all have our skeletons). Up until the new year, I used the cartridge multi-blade abominations when I switched to DE shaving...true bliss for my face.

I suppose it was always only ever a matter of time until I made the step to the gentlemanly art of straight razor shaving. I'm still about as green as you get, and tonight saw me take my first step on the "straight" path with me taking my first stumbling steps from side burn to jaw then completing with my DE.
It's going to be a long steady road, but I'm looking forward to the journey...one inch at a time.

Good to be here.
