    Default Another Aussie into the mix.....

    Hi everyone, I'm Aaron from Brisbane Australia. Got my first straight razor a rosewood Dovo 5/8 a couple of months ago, along with a brush, Dovo strop and some Truefitt & Hill 1805 cream, plus a few other accessories all from the Razor Shop...
    After some extensive you tubing and reading I made the leap into shaving with a straight razor..and to say I was a little nervous would be an understatement. But after a couple of nicks and some trial and error, I can at least now do one pass incident free and absolutely love shaving now, whereas before it was a chore to use a gillette razor..
    Looking forward to checking out the forum and getting as much information as possible so i can perfect my technique...

    Cheers....Aaron

    Welcome to SRP Aaron

    I'm just a little north of you in Maleny, but I work in Brisbane. I know Russ at the Razor shop quite well - nice chap. I hope you continue to enjoy your shaves! If you are ever around this way let me know - more than happy to show you stuff and help out in person if you want.

    James.

    G'Day and welcome to SRP, Aaron.
    I'm out Ipswich way and can only echo James' offer to catch up when/if you want.

    You and I have very similar stories, as I have also come from the hell that is Gillette and dived in head first in straight razor shaving. I was also nervous too; always cross referencing videos and diagrams to make sure I'm doing it correctly. It took me about 30-45 minutes to complete my first shave, but in the end I loved it even after the cuts!
