G'day from Straya
How's it going y'all? Nice to notice lots of Aussies on here! (I guess last time I was part of a forum we'd only just got electricity in Australia so it was rare to find other Aussies online). Anyway, my straight razor shaving experience includes about one square inch of my face at this point in time.
I bought a $4 razor off eBay mainly to get my honing right, but poor naive little me was also hoping to get a shave out of it as well. But no, it quickly became apparent that I'd have more luck having a shave if I honed up an old gumboot or something.
So here I am to be educated, share the journey, and hopefully one day soon even be able to give a little back!
Currently searching for a new razor, armed with all the juicy knowledge I've found on here :-)
Thanks for reading!
p.s. Oh, does anyone shave their HEAD with a straight razor? Guess I'll do a search on here and find out!
p.p.s. "Straya" is pretty much how we pronounce "Australia".

Not in SOUTH Australia it isn't, as we have Culture. Just kidding, welcome! There's masses of information here!

G'day Wouldeneye, welcome to SRP.
I shave the head with a straight occasionally, but more often with a double edge razor.
Cheers

Welcome to SRP Wouldeneye.
There is plenty of info on this site to be had - as a suggestion, read the WIKI first, read the beginners sticky next, search for the answers you want (search box is top of page on the right), ask any questions that you can't find the answers to and then hang on and enjoy the ride.
If all else fails, I'm just up the road.
Cheers,
Geoffbaldy and wouldeneye like this.Hang on and enjoy the ride...

Oh, don't worry, I'm sure it will come to the surface one day. Just jokes, an Australian welcome wouldn't be complete without good old fashioned good natured teasing, would it? :-) Originally Posted by wouldn't
