My name is Toby. I found this site after doing some research about vintagestraightrazors . com, a site which I have found through this forum to sell razors that are...in a word...crap. I don't usually shave, I usually sport a manly, wild, unkempt beard that I quite enjoy, but when I do I use a double edged safety razor that requested a birthday gift several years ago. The recent post on Woot and coming across my grandfathers straight razor in my dad's junk drawer has led me to have a desire to advance my wet shaving to the next level. I can see after a quick overview of these forums that this is the place to properly learn the art. I look forward to absorbing knowledge that you gentlemen can offer.
