Hello everyone,


I've been using cartridge razors for most of my adult life and canned foam for much of that time but I go through phases where I use a brush and quality cream or soap and I do love it so. I've also been wanting to try the SR route but just never have gotten around to it.
Knowing this, my wife got me a gift card from AOS this Christmas and I'm about to head over there today to use it. I already think I know what I'm getting (one of the less expensive SRs, a strop, strop paste, and a small starter kit of products, including a brush) but I'm glad I came here this morning to do some research first. I might have actually believed they were shave ready, for one thing. Anyone in the SLC area know a good place I can bring it to have it honed? I also realize I'd get much more for my (or her) money elsewhere, but it's what I have to work with.


Anyway, I'm glad I found you guys and I'm sure I will be posting much in the next couple weeks. Thanks!
