Merry Christmas from Spring, Texas.

Well today was the day. After a couple of months of research on here, I have just completed my first wet shave with a straight razor! I used a Wade and Butcher Special from BobsRazors.com and most other items such as soap, brush (a Simpson) and after shave lotions from Em's place. The result is actually unbelievable. I have never had such a close shave and to think I have just turned 51. I wanted to say thanks to all of you for the advice I have read - Lynn, the DVD is special too! Thanks again from this expat who became a citizen this year. I live in Spring, Texas - 5 minutes from The Woodlands.

Welcome to SRP, :)

It is good to hear that we benefit new guys. You have a quality razor that should last you for many generations.
