New member from Sterling, VA

Started out as a reader of the forum as I reminisced the days when my dad would lather up and shave with a DE razor. Decided it is time to move away from safety razors and slowly work into the straight razors. So will start out slowly with some things I can pick up as I experiment and determine where my likes and dislikes are. Surely a good razor and a good brush will be the first on my list as I have found some choices reading this forum.

So just looking forward to the enjoyment that a straight razor will bring as I learn to master it.

Welcome Myron! I am sure you will eventually discover that the straight razor shave is a very rewarding experience.

I lived a short while in Sterling, VA in the 90's and attended Potomac Falls High School.

Welcome aboard! It's a fun skill to learn. Just watch out for all the addictions that go along with it. We're not exactly the full if self restraint type here. :thumbup::cool::thumbup:

Know the area very well.
Take my Harley out through that area as Algonkian Parkway is relatively light on traffic.

Thanks!

Getting the feeling already.
Wanted a Tony Miller strop.
They were out of stock so bought something else.
Well yesterday the TM Strop became available.
Now will have two (Vintage and a new TM).

Thanks again!

Another place I visit on my Harley.
Love the HD store right on 50 and like it better since they moved to a larger store front.
Never visited the old store front since it was converted to a pool hall (love to play as well).

Thanks for the offer and will keep an open mind.
