My name is Steve. I am new to the world of straight razor shaving. I am going to stick with this for as long as I can. I can't believe I didn't do this years ago. To think of the money and crappy shavers I've put up with for years! I ordered a Dovo forestal which will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping to get Oz, on the forum, to hone it first for me. Anyways, I hope to glean more information as I learn to do this art.
cheers
Glad to have you here Steve. Ask any questions and you will find plenty of folks that will be glad to help you. You have some of your fellow Australians here so make yourself at home.
Welcome to SRP! :)
You're on a winner with Oz - you do your homework I see.
James.
Welcome aboard Steve. See you soon I guess. :)
Greetings, Steve, and Welcome to SRP! I see some of SRP's most knowledgeable and respected Australia contingent have welcomed you -- you're indeed fortunate. When your razor arrives, post some pics of it for us, along with your other gear (if you have the equipment to do so). See you in the trenches, buddy! :beer1:
G'Day Steve and welcome to SRP.
Glad to have you on board.
Welcome! Like has been said, you made a good choice re the honing; at least that way you can negate that reason when things go wrong; which they will. But the good news is that everyone here will help out when things go wrong. Even when shaving with a straight was common; I can't at all imagine there were ever imaging a bunch of guys TALKING about it so much, unless it was at the barber shop...
If a Yank, can join in, I’d like to welcome you to the most friendly, informative and helpful site on the web!!!Quote:

Keep us up to date with your journey!! Shaving with a straight has a Huge Learning Curve! With that said, once you master (or at least semi-master it) you will find it very rewarding!!
Again, Welcome!!

G'day Steve, glad to have you on board. Enjoy the Dovo!
Thanks y'all
I did indeed have Oz do the hone for me. He gave me some great advice too.
You're a hospitible bunch I see. I'll try to post some shot of the Forestal shortly.
