New guy from Iowa

[CornFed]

I just wanted to stop by to say Hello. I have learned a ton just browsing through the forums here, I can't wait to get things rolling. I have always been interested in straights and shaving with them, but have just recently acquired my first razor. I'm of to do a little more research and wait for some supplies to arrive, if I have any questions you guys will be the first to know. Thanks for what you all do here, it's a great resource.

Welcome to SRP Jason. I just saw your other thread with a picture of the razor from the estate sale. It appears to be in good shape. Check the classifieds here and click on "Member Services" and you'll see a host of gentlemen here who offering honing sevices. PM (private message) a few and send it out to be properly honed to shave readiness, your face will thank-you. Ask any questions that come up as the gentlemen of this forum are always willing to help a new member start down the right path towards shaving nirvana.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if it is going to need to be honed. It is wicked sharp already and easily took the hair off my arm. I'm hoping to just give it a go on the strop and see what happens.
