Hi, from south Louisiana.

Hello everybody and thanks for having me here. Here is a little about my straight shave experience. About 19 years ago I had just started to try and shave with a straight, didn't go well but I was determined to do it. I had just recently joined the Army and was due to ship out soon when I had started. Well imagine my surprise when at Basic Training they confiscated my straight that I forgot to take out of my shave kit before leaving home. Well all this time latter and I have finally decided to take it up again and my "new" vintage razor is on its way from Tennessee. Thanks to this amazing thing called the internet I think this go round will be much better, at the least I am better informed about technique.

Thanks for all the info,
Eric
