Hello Everyone,

I cant believe I have waited this long to take the plunge, have been keen on straight razors for 25+ years. I actually had one try when I was a teenager with my Pop's razor but he had left us quite some time before that and his razor wasn't in very good fettle. I wish I knew where it got too. This looks like a great place to learn some theory and perhaps some pitfalls too. I am into making my own bowhunting equipment and just got into edges tools as well so perhaps I will have a go at making my own razor one day. Looking forward to cruising the site more and learning about wet shaving.

Cheers........ Rod
