    Default Hello from Connecticut

    Hello! My name is Paul. Just got back into straight razor shaving after a 10 year hiatus. Wish there was a site like this 23 years ago when I started using a straight razor. Could of saved my face from a steep learning curve! Lol look forward to participating in this great community

    I'm located in East Haven. Yeah I learned to shave with a straight razor when I was around 18-19 years old. Shaved that way for 10 uears or more the I got married, then kids, life in general and started using my safety razor more and more. Then you know out of shear laziness I started using the Mach 3s etc. friggin blades are over the top expensive!!! So now after 17 years of marriage I asked for the big D and now I find out my girlfriend actually finds it sexy that I shaved with a straight razor! Lol So being the old dog I am I unpacked my straight razor gear and started again. Found out my 3 old razors need honing and my strop is a dry piece of toast! So now I'm just getting my gear back together. Looking for a long 3in strop and need to get a 4000/8000 Norton and maybe a 12000 for shits and giggles.
