    Talking 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.

    Welcome to SRP!

    It is exceptionally excellent to have another Brisbanite in our midst. The next Brisbane meet will be a large affair!

    How come there is a great influx of new Aussie members living in Brisbane and its environs???

    Despite that, WELCOME Chin

    I'd say that's pretty spot on Jimbo!

    That and I think the resurgence of the barber shop style. Uppercut Deluxe pomade etc.

    When's the next Brisbane meet?

    These things tend to be variable and depend on someone stepping up and volunteering to organise the meet. The last meetup was fairly recent, so I would suggest that the next one won't be until well into the new year. In other words, I don't have a clue.

    Well '"Uncle Mick" says he will work on a date with Stu (so long as Stu gets to be Boss) a little closer to the time, but the rest is up to the attendee's . How much notice do you need to book the church hall Stu?

    Welcome to the Place.
    So many QLD'ers. You will want your own forum soon.
