Hello everyone. I'm in Austin Texas and have just been getting back into shaving with a blade (vs electric). I am glad to see such a great resource as this forum and I look forward to being here for a while. I haven't made the plunge into straight razor shaving yet because I'm debating whether to go with a straight or a DE :hmmm:. But even if I don't go for a straight you guys at least have lots of useful info on shave prep and aftershave products. Thanks for the great resources! :)

Welcome. Tex! With a name like Nick, you might as well go straight. :D JMHO.
Good point. :DQuote:

Yes, that's two different kinds of razors we can collect!<g>Quote:

The learning curve for straights is a lot longer, and the costs tend to be higher.
