Hey all!
So i actually found out about straight razor shaving from theartofmanliness.com and it sounded awesome... I always hated shaving and all the advantages of straight shaving really got to me, namely the cheapness(after initial costs, of course. but i'm a college student. who wasn't cheap in college?), on top of the general badass-ness of it...i just had to.
so after talking to my barber about it, i got myself set up with a fromm 72r(i know there's better options, now that i've found the forums...but too late now, it's already bought) I bought some soap, and stole my brother's brush(he uses an old gillette DE, with face-lathering cream, doesn't use his brush anymore)
It's currently away being honed, so i can't say much about shaving with it, except that i'm SUPER excited about this whole deal... wish i had found out about it before, when i had to stay clean-shaven every day (catholic high school...)
also one question...i tried twice to send pm's, and both times it never showed up in my sent folder, so i don't think they sent. do i need to have a certain number of posts or something before i can pm?
