Hello hello from Brisbane Aus
Hello all!
First off I'd like to say - Wow. SRP is a wealth of knowledge.
Without all of the helpful info I've picked up here, I'm not sure I would have taken the plunge.
In preparation for my wedding, my brothers, took me out for a cut throat shave at the barbers. It was awesome. I've never been one for shaving as it always irritated me; but the clean shaved feeling and no burn was awesome. So good I started researching after the honeymoon, and decided I could learn this art.
I've just made with my first purchase of a straight razor - Giesent and Forsthoff 5/8, and brush, soap, strop. Looking forward to it getting delivered and that first shave!
I'll have to find myself a honemeister as I don't think I'm confident in getting the razor shave-ready myself (yet). When I can afford it I'll invest in some hones and learn that side of it too.
Anyways, Hello and looking forward to becoming part of this great community.
