Thanked: 1Hello from Central California
Greetings.
I'm so happy to have found this place—just what the doctor ordered.
I've been wet shaving for nearly two years with a DE razor. I'm currently using a Merkur Vision and favor creams over soaps. I own three razors and three brushes. I've found a groove in my shaving and am very pleased with my results much more often than not.
I'm finding myself transfixed by the prospect of shaving with a straight razor. I'm pretty impulsive but am forcing myself to research before I buy or use a razor. I can see that this is the place to do just that.
Thanks for letting me in and I look forward to the journey.

Thanked: 443Hello Piperdown, and welcome to SRP! Research is good, and the Wiki is a trove of great info. If you're going to shop on E-bay, definitely check out the list of razors to avoid, and to develop an idea of what you might like to try first, read about the straight razor in general.
Ask any questions--that's why we're here.
Best wishes to you"These aren't the droids you're looking for." "These aren't the droids we're looking for." "He can go about his business." "You can go about your business."

Hello, Piperdown, and welcome to Straight Razor Place. You have plenty of information available to you and many people waiting to guide you along, because some of us who shave with the straight razor also manage to get a few double edge shaves in.
