    Default Greetings from Pittsburgh, PA/ Decatur, AL

    My father recently passed down a nice barber hone and brush from my great grandfather forward. This is what got me interested in the straight razor community. I have a brother-in-law that has been srs for a year or so and he has had nothing but great things to share on the matter. I have a brillo pad for a beard and a brand new Mach 4 has much trouble cutting through the wire I have on my face. After one to two shaves max it went to the rubbish can. I figured that I might invest a few hundred $s in straight equipment and be saving in the long haul. For years, mainly out of laziness I have shaved only with water and blade I have toughened my skin. This being said I have started srs for a week now and absolutely love it. I have not had any problems adjusting to the new style of shaving. As I said my face is tough so even a complete novice I rarely get any cuts "rarely" lol). I have acquired a goldedge 5/8 also a vostok 2 Russian 4/8 and most recently a 8/8 Spanish point friodur. The goldedge was an eBay special while the Russian blade came from my wife's family which is from Russia. That being said I believe I may have a source on nice blades from Russia. My friodur was purchased from shavingshop.com and let me tell you John the owner is a fine man to deal with. Can't go wrong with his customer support. All in all I am excited and very pleased with this new technique/ hobby I have taken up. This forum is a great way to learn on any subject related to wet shaving and I greatly appreciate the time dedicated to maintaining such a great source of information and friendly discussion.
    I am sending this via I phone so I can't upload pics as of now, however, I will update soon.

    Thanks a lot,
    Gregory
