Thread: Hey from CA

Hi all. This is a great site, glad to have found it. I'm looking to learn how to straight razor shave.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to serve (Army) with one of the best all around guys God did put on this earth. Carson was his name and he was passionate about shaving this way and would treat those of us who were willing to a great shave from time to time.

Carson's now gone, along with a number of fine individuals, all real friends/brothers and my mind has been constantly taking me back to those shaves and chit chat that made Afghanistan somewhat bearable at times.

I figured that I'd buy a kit and start shaving with a straight razor myself. Kinda like therapy. Taking a long careful shave and thinking about the good people we've lost is the least I could do to pay respect I figure. Could have been me a whole lot of times. I'm very lucky and humbled.

Before I buy anything, I figured I'd do some research and that's what brought me here. Anyway, that's my "schpleel", looking forward to learning about this art from you all.
