Hey folks,
New straight razor shaver here from Texas. I'm a programmer by day and guitar fanatic by night. Now I can add straight razor shaving and its accoutrements to my list of addictions.
So, why straight razor and why now? Well, I was watching TV and one of the 1,000 doomsday prepper shows was on and I started to think of all the things that I wouldn't be able to do without the modern conveniences that shelter us. Shaving came to mind and after a quick look around the internet at straight razor shaving sites and I was hooked. Something about the art and the danger involved and the idea of owning one or multiple well-crafted blades really drew me in. I've been using Gillette razors since the peach fuzz started to get too long (roughly twenty years) and it felt like time to take the training wheels off.
Hope to learn a lot from everyone here and share what I find along the way as well.
Justin
