Canadian razor noob!
Hello gents! Im a carpenter from Canada who fell into the love of razors honestly. Growing up my parents dragged me to every antique store they ever drove by. I use to hate it! Now im doing the same thing looking mainly for Razors, strops, brushes, scuttles, or anything else that catches my eye. Ive done a lot of reading on here but have never decided to type until now. Im looking forward to all the knowledge I can soak up from the experienced guys. Ive already been lucky in my searches for shaving paraphernalia.

Welcome to SRP! Five months of reading is probably the best way to start SR shaving.

Wow. Thank you for the kind words! I have tried to seek out as much information as I can on straight razor shaving, so I keep my mistakes to a minimum. I've learned lots from dwarvenchef's youtube videos, Ive watched all of them many times along with many others. lynns videos have also been very helpful in learning to hone. Ive also read all the helpful links on the home page which helps soooo much!! Im a wood worker by trade so a sharping stone is certainly not unfamiliar. Although a straight razor takes much more patients to sharpen and achieve the edge you need compared to wood working tools. I am having a blast collecting shaving tools and this forum just makes it so much more enjoyable!!!
