Hello all:

My name is David, and I just purchased my first Straight razor (a kind of merry Christmas to me)

So far I batting 50/50, first shave drew some blood off the sideburn , second was good, third one took off a bit of flesh off my fingetip as I was wiping shaving cream from the blade, and the last one was good.

I feel like I have a long ways to go before knowing much about the art of shaving, but I'm really enjoying the charm of using an instrument which takes me back a hundred years in time.

Just out of curiosity, where would a person find a store that carries either straight razors or shaving accessories?

David
