So being one of the new guys ( I literally just signed up lol ) I figured I'd introduce myself... here goes :
Archerr is the name.
25 year old guy... University Student in Business. Office work as an advisor, part-time, for moneys.
Within the last few weeks, I seem to have developed a rather strange inexplicable passion for straight razor shaving, so here I am!!
:)
Welcome!
There are a fair number of us Canadians here, scattered over several thousand miles from East to West.
This is a fine site for learning the ropes of straight razor shaving (and razor honing, restoring, etc). If you haven't got a razor yet, start reading the beginners' Wiki's.

Welcome aboard! Read the Beginner's Guide before you spend any money on new equipment. When you decide to make the investment, I'd suggest a restored straight (from the SRP Classifieds or whippeddog.com), rather than a brand new razor. At minimum you'll need:
A SR
Brush
Strop
Cream/Soap
After Shave
Understand, too, that this is a pursuit that has a fairly steep learning curve. I have been shaving with a SR for over a year, and still have not mastered all the nuances.
Welcome to your new obsession!

From there, the rest of the "beginner's Wiki" articles are worthwhile. Note the "good straight razor brands" and "brands of straight razors to avoid" documents, if you want to buy a razor.

As with anything, reading between the lines is somewhat advisable! ;)Quote:
