Greetings from the Holy City! I'm a US Army officer stationed in Jerusalem for three years. I've started wet shaving (DE) since arriving a year ago, and my interest in Straight Razors has been piqued. Not sure if I'm prepared to make the plunge, but I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can before I do!
Cheers,
Ken
Welcome to SRP.
Starting out with a DE is a fine way to learn much of what is needed for a straight shave.
Prep, lathering, pressure, or lack thereof:)
Do check out the beginner's guide on the frontpage, and have a look at the library as well.
I'm sure you will find anything you need, and then some, on this site.
If not, ask away and we will make our best effort to help out.
Welcome and enjoy the forum.
I have only visited Jerusalem one time, but it was awesome and I would go back in a heartbeat.
Have fun
Welcome to the forum. Stay safe!
We have an Israeli member/razor maker His name is tcensor Might be a good resource for you.

Welcome to SRP.
And I can help you with pleasure with straight razors/info on the Holy Land.:)
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the help! And Manah, I'd be very interested to know more about razors here in Israel. I get the feeling it's a very small following!
My Hebrew is okay in terms of comprehension, but my speaking is still a bit stilted. I've recently started a MA in Public Policy at the Hebrew University here in Jerusalem, so I expect it'll improve quickly!
Welcome to SRP Ken. Thanks for serving. You have already gotten off to a good start here.
Oh! Take the plunge, TAKE the PLUNGE!! You're not a man until you do.Quote:

Uh, oh! I see a budding Padawan! manah has an apprentice close by now... Someone will actually get a visual on the ancient libraries of Manah.
Manah is from Israel?
Didnt know that. Cool!

First of all, welcome to srp and to Israel. Not that I can offer much help, with not much more than a year into straights, but I live in Mevaseret 10 minutes out of Jerusalem and work in the city, so if I can help... I was actually not aware of any other israeli (or israeli-based) members other than manah, so welcome and thanks, now I know there are more!
