My name is leighton and i have been looking at getting a SR for about a year now. I just havent found a place with complete enough research and answers for all my questions looks like there is very knowledgeable people on here. Im in the military so i will be using my razor daily when i receive.
Cheers and looking forward to learning lots for the people here.
G'day Leighton, and welcome to the forum.

Hello Leighton
Welcome to the forum & to the world of straight razor shaving. Theres much to learn here & lots of practice on your part, but the final outcome will definitely be worth it.
I see your from Hershy PA. Cool I'm from Philadelphia. There are a good number of Pennsylvania boys around as well.
Good luck dont give up, your in for a really fun, practical & most of all rewarding passion.
Regards,
Darl (Tarkus)
Welcome! You'll definitely find anything and everything you need to know here. This site and its members have been a huge help for me.
I started with a straight back in March and haven't looked back :)
You might get frustrated if you try to dive in too fast. Give yourself some time. Tackle small sections at a time.
Welcome!
Thanks and to bad there isnt someone with a shop around here that sells straight razors.Quote:

Yes the closest thing to a store around these parts is Art Of Shaving in King Of Prussia. Good stuff but high prices. Stick to the internet for sales. There are many superior vendors here on the site that will hook you up proper.Quote:

Darl, you'll have to let us know if you do take the trip. And give us PA guys some feed back on the store. I don't see myself making it there anytime soon.

My simple little hobby is now at 120+ razors strong.
Uggggggggggg.
So get Down With The Sickness with the rest of us addicts. Har!!!
Oh and Alum is a crystalline block that stops bleeding like a stepic pen, but it also has some antiseptic properties as well
