Good afternoon gents, and ladies.
Hellllloooo,,,,,
I am new to SRP and straight razor shaving. I have been lathering up and using a DE safty razor going on about six years now so I figure this is the next logical step. Plus I realy like the way I feel when I get out of the barber chair so I thought I would try to bring some of that feeling home.
I have made my fist purchase of a couple of Straight razors from a classified add on a difernt forum: a Böker 1101 (I gather it's an 1101 from information I fond here at SRP) and a Shumate Ben-Hur. Sorry no pictures yet. I havent tried either of them yet. I have been starting slowly with a Feather I procured from my mother, she used to shave our necks with it when we were kids. With the Feather I always know I have a good edge.
Home for me is Soddy Daisy, a little town just north of Chattanooga, TN. I'm curious as to how many of you out there are close by?
Anyway, thanks to all for the all the infomation and the development of SRP. This had become my "goto site" for information.
