Hi, My name is AJ, and I haven't had a proper shave in 20 years.
I'm looking at getting into shaving with a straight razor, and I stumbled upon this treasure trove of information...
Basically, I just am getting fed up with paying ~$50/year for crappy shaves and razor burn. I'd rather get a good straight razor, the accouterments and be done with it.
I'll admit, one of my other reasons is that I want to be the BAMF who shaves with a straight razor.
Welcome, when I read the first line of your post, I thought you must have a very long beard that you were looking to shave off.
Then I would look to get a wonderful custom from one of the fine custom proprietors here. Nothing short of 15/16ths with lots of jimps and spine work :rock: Just make sure you get a good starter and read the wiki, watch the videos, and enjoyQuote:

I looked at the lifetime cost, and It looks like I'll wind up saving money in the long run. right now, I'm just looking at getting used equipment...Quote:
