Heya gents and ladies of course :)
Hi my name is Stuart Richards I'm a 20 year old male who lives in Australia (and that's all your getting about my whereabouts :P). I'm in my final year of my apprenticeship in automotive spray painting. I have been fortunate enough to find myself in an amazing shop working on high end cars I've only ever had dreams of seeing in my life. the Rolls Royce and Bentley vehicles that come through our shop intrigued me with their old fashioned designs and presence. I'm fascinated by all things "old school" which finally brings me to the topic of straight razors.
I have never used a straight razor before but I have always wanted to, i use to sit a watch my grandfather shave and i could never wrap my head around how he never cut himself. I guess I've come here for advice, what i need to get started (Besides the obvious a razor and shaving cream) and also any advice anyone is willing to pass on so i don't end up butchering my face :).
thanks ladies and gents for any feed back,
Sincerely Stewie
