Hello folks,

I recently started learning how to use a straight razor, and still have a long way to go. I'm active
on Kitchen Knife Forums, and it was a thread on there that got me started on straights. (I'm still cursing the person who started that thread.) I recognize some of folks here from KKF (hi guys!).

I started with the "sight unseen deal" from Whipped Dog, and am having a very hard time following Glen's advice to take it slow. Another razor is already on its way to me, and I haven't even successfully shaved my whole face with a straight yet! Oh well. I also have Lynn's DVD on the way.

Happy to be here, and wanted to thank the community for the wealth of information it provides.

Regards,

Mark
