Another QLDer

Since there seem to be so many new members from Brisbane, I thought I'd register too and introduce myself. I actually live in the Redlands, but grew up in Brisbane, used to live in Redbank and my inlaws live in Redcliffe, so I consider myself a local to a lot of you.

I've just bought a Robeson Sure Edge 15-L-400 off eBay, which I'm planning to restore before I start using it. I built myself a skin on frame kayak from scratch last year, so I'm no stranger to DIY.;) My only experience with a straight razor so far was years ago at a barber's, where the young girl using a shavette to shave me didn't really have a clue what she was doing, hence lots of blood.

Looking forward to having a go myself.

G'Day Steve and welcome to SRP.

Great to have another local on board.

I do live at Redbank and was bought up in Sandgate - so there you go.

Do lots of reading and research in the Library/Workshop stickies.

Anything we can do to help - just ask.

Well there you have it then. I just live here where I'm at neither here nor there...But leaning more towards the here of Brighton than the there of Redcliffe. And I wasn't born in this place, nor was I raised here, and if I could, I would leave here. However here I am and here I stay, so you just got to put up with me...Oh yes and by the way; Welcome to this world of Cut-Throats Steve. God I love that name! Why anyone would choose to use the less colourful name of Open razor or Straight is beyond me.

G'day! I'm a Straight...Yes well, that's good. I'm not gay myself.

G'day, I'm Open...Goodo then. What are you pretending to be?! A shop?!

G'day, I'm a Cut-Throat...Yeah that delivers a strong jab to the ribs to the other person...Unless your a little skinny bloke, who can't look them in the eye when you say it. Yeah, then it might not be so good...:) Then you'd just be looked at and ignored as just another weirdo...:D

P.S I was born in QLD...Just not this part of it. I would hate to have you blokes think I was a blow in from NSW :)
