New member here straight out of Massachusetts. I've finally been able to get into straight style shaving within the past few months and got great info from this site. It was worth it.

Started off with a Personna Magic shavette with some Derby blades as a cheap transition and I liked how it performed over my old Fusion. I now have a Parker SR1 with Shark blades and can see a difference in how the blades cut as well as how the weight affects it. The more I shave the more I want to keep doing it again to get the right angles and refine the technique.

I was given a straight razor as a present a few years back and now I think I'm ready to get it honed after picking up info here and having some solid base for my technique. Are there any reputable members here that can help out with that?

Glad to be able to join a community that's full of knowledge and willing to help out others as I'm willing to do the same. See you around the forums!
