Hello all,
I'm just starting to get into straights becasue of constant fighting of irritation. I've shaved off and on with everything else for far to long now, and after talking with a couple of folks, along with tons of researching, I decided to come this direction. The researching has had me on this site and B&B lerking around for quite a while now. It just became time that I felt I needed to join one of them, and you know the choice. From what I've seen so far through the lurking, the members support each other quite well around here. That is a bit unusual from a lot of forums. My first straight is getting ordered currently, along with anything else I'll need to move over from DE. I handle a lot of knives constantly, and they are all kept hair popping sharp, so the maintenance should come to me somewhat naturally. If you all have any words of wisdom or warnings to pass around, please do so. I'm anxious to learn, and always search for answers to my questions before i post up.
Jim
