Hello from Virginia
Hello. My name is Jerry and I live in Virginia. I have been shaving for many, many years, but I have become interested in learning the art of the straight razor. Like most, I started with the old safety razors - loading one blade at a time. I moved to electric during my college years because of convenience, but I always enjoyed lathering up and scraping the skin clean. I guess it's a natural progression to move back to the single blades in pursuit of a good shave. I found SRP during my straight razor research and it looks to be a great resource. I look forward to learning this old artform.

Welcome aboard. As has been said, the Wiki is your friend. Also, Gssixgun does a monthly tips article which is quite handy.
There's also a few members in NoVa so they may have some good local sources for stuff as well.

Welcome Jerry,
I agree with the comments above!

Thanks for the welcomes. My new Norton stones came in today, so it's time to sharpen some blades; unfortunately, the wife wants the kitchen knives done first.
