Just wanted to poke my head in and say hello. I have been kinda wet shaving for 25 yrs or so, using a brush and soap along with Bic disposable razors. I decided to up my game with a safety razor not too long ago and enjoyed it so much that I had to give straights a go. I have 2 straight shaves under my belt at this point using guidance I've found on this site and have been very pleased with the results. Thanks for all the good information!
