    Default New and eager to learn

    Christian here, 17 years of active military service and going strong, living in Eureka, Ca,(if you don't know where that is don't feel bad, i didn't either till i got here.) a long 5 hour drive north of beautiful San Francisco. I'm new to both SR shaving and this site, and looking forward to learning both. I currently have a beautiful new Dovo SR that I'm looking forward to using as soon as i can get my strop(nowhere in this town to get anything close to usable)and a couple that I picked up from the sales around that i look forward to changing the scales of. (I'm in redwood country so that might make for a very nice starter scale) Anyway I'm looking forward to being a sponge an taking in as much as i can and hoping some actually sticks. I'm ready for the blood sweat and tears, well really only the blood part, as I'm sure there will be some.

    Welcome Christian. Being a sponge is good, especially around here..there's alot to take in. The learning curve of a straight takes a bit of time so be patient and have fun with the journey. Enjoy.

    Welcome Christian, you sound ready to start, but is your razor up to the task? Just thought I'd check that with you before you put blade to face .

    Mick, thanks for the reply, I believe the razor (new Dovo)is as eager to go as I am. But as i mentioned I don't have a strop yet. Iif I'm going to do this i better do it right. And in the meantime I'll continue to read and educate myself, this way hopefully I wont ruin the razor or strop.

    No worries mate. Just thought I'd ask, because I started out with a brand new Dovo that was 'shave ready' from the factory. Problem is that factory shave ready isn't as good as Pro honed shave ready. I found this, and the fact that strops are required after every shave, out the hard way. Just trying to look out for you mate.

    Do you have a recommendation for a good strop? And your right on the money, the Dovo is right out of the box so I'll wait till i get the strop before i test her out. Also is that your dog in the picture? It looks almost exactly like my Jack Russell, good looking dog.
