Just hi, from an italian newbie living in Minnesota

Hi all,
I've been following the forum for about a month, I started straight razor shaving since about 2 weeks, and this is my first post here. It's just to say hi, and thanks for this great community! As a newbie, I had a lot of questions, but I found answers to all of them in this forum, even without asking, just by using the search. This is by far the best, and most complete, online community I've ever saw!

A little bit about myself, I'm italian, but I live in Minneapolis, MN since about a year. I'm a scientist at the University of Minnesota, and that's why I left Sunny Italy for Frozen Minnesota (although it's quite nice around here right now!).

I want to finish this short introduction with a special thanks to Don and Lynn at SRD, where I bought my first razor+strop set, and I'm really happy with both of them so far...

PS: I'm starting to feel the first symptoms of RAD, any cure? :D

As a Minnesotan and a U of M grad let me say welcome! You're going to love it here!!

p.s. you'll probably like SRP, too.

Cure??? Easy go buy another razor, then another and another... Then you'll say wow this is getting expensive maybe if I buy old bet up ones it will be cheaper. So then you'll start looking on eBay, flea markets, and antique shops and buying piles of old razors, but how to make them shave ready? Well you'll need some stones of course and while your at it some supplies for refurbishing and so on. And now you have another AD.

Welcome!

I am in St. Paul, Minnesota and give honing lessons at my home so feel free to contact me if your interested in that. We also have Razor Meets here at least once a year.

Please modify your profile to show that you live in Minnesota and provide an email address so I can contact you about future razor meets.

I will send you a PM with my contact details. Gimme a call when you get time. :D

Ben arrivato !

Ciao , and welcome from another Italian guy living in UK !
Where about you're from in Italy ?
A cure for RAD ? As a scientist you should know that .. it hasn't been found yet !! :-)

Thanks all for your replies!

Grazie Cardellino, sono di Genova.

Don't worry, I know there's no cure for RAD, and I don't have plan to find one either!!!
