Hi, I'm Scott and I'm straight razor addicted (fairly new). I think I started with straights because of the pure beauty of a real straight razor with a nice set of scales. Then, I discovered what a great shave I could get and I was hooked. I've got the shaving down but still work on the stopping and have not started honing my own yet. But I'll get there!looking forward to meeting fellow straight razor shavers.
Hi Scott,
Welcome to SRP, what razor are you using ? are you honing and stropping yourself ?
Welcome Scott, good to have you with us. What a joyful journey it is, setting out to explore wet shaving. Don't hesitate to ask questions when needed, and above all, have fun.
Welcome to SRP Scott!
you will find lots of fellow addicts here. In fact the Va group is quite active, you just missed one of their get togethers
the memtors form down by you AFDavis11 and LegalBeagle will be great 'localish' resources for you. here is Allen's paddle strop video
enjoy,
jim
Welcome, Scott. You just missed the Northern VA get together this past weekend: http://straightrazorpalace.com/get-t...uary-27th.html
Maybe we can connect at the next one. Again, welcome to SRP.
Hi and Welcome Aboard Scott!! You won't find a better, cleaner, smoother shave than with a well honed and stropped straight razor! It takes what used to be a daily chore and turns it into a daily ritual, that you look forward to each and every day. The really cool thing is, you can have 1 razor, 1 strop, a brush, soap, and mug and STILL get the same awesome shave that someone else gets, with a 200 razor rotation and multiple strops, etc! Once you have the basics down, it's all just luxury from there!! Heck, with straight razor shaving, even the basics are a luxury compared to any other type!! Again, welcome.
