Thread: New member from Texas, USA

Gentlemen and Ladies:

I'm new to this group although I have been devouring info from SRP for the last several weeks. Got my feet wet with my first razor, a Filarmonica shavette and this would be my second week shaving with it. I'm enjoying it and I have cut down blood loss to no more than half a pint per shave. I'm still a chicken when it comes to shaving the chin and the area under my nose but I'm willing to wait for the moment I feel ready to try it. Just ordered my first SR from SRD, a Dovo Best Quality. Got my first strop, my first badger brush and other acutrement. This is exciting and for the first time in my life I look forward to shaving in the morning!!

Congratulations and welcome to SRP!

when the mood for an evening shave as well sets in you will know you are truly hooked.

enjoy,
jim

Any suggestions about how to loose the fear of shaving the chin and the area under my nose (other than growing a mustache...) ?

Welcome, Tex! Where are you at in this big state??

Hi there fella Texan! Corpus Christi.

Welcome! I'm from the Valley, but living in San Antonio.

We are neighbors! I love Saint Anton. Any specialized shaving stores in the big S.A.?

There's one that I know of here in SA, which is the Art of Shaving at La Cantera. In Austin, there's a wet shaving store called Enchante, located in downtown Austin. Apart from those, there are a few online stores and retailers that are very helpful with product information and instruction, as well as the fine folks here at SRP.
