Greetings from Australia.

After spending many hours on the net researching straight razors I finally found the right place!:D
Just placed my order with Larry from Whipped Dog & looking forward to my first straight razor shave at the age of 47.
As I am getting older I'm more drawn to the "old ways" of doing things, so naturally straight razor was on the list.
Recently lost my job due to injury, so why not start the new chapter of my life with something enjoyable.
Many thanks to all the posters here -I've learned so much by reading your posts.
I never thought shaving with straight razor is such an art!
Bring it on! I am prepared -bandages - CHECK, ambulance on speed dial- CHECK :rofl2:

Welcome to the world of Cut-Throats Arek. Where in Oz are you by the way? There are a few of us Aussies around the joint.

Bet he's not from SA, no-one is :-(

Welcome to the most friendly, helpful and informative site on the web!!!

As my Mate MickR asked where are you from what's your occupation etc!!

Australia is a huge county but perhaps you might be close to others and hands on learning is invaluable!!!

Make the effort! If you can to meet with one of your countrymen who use a straight razor you will be well rewarded!!

Mick

It's an English county I think, at least until She hands over the reins to Charles...

:OT:HJReckon it'll quickly turn into a Republic or will Chucky start the family's old transpotation business up again ya reckon. :p


Mick

Chuck's a bit weird, then again they all are, a bit...

:) I am not getting involved with this one, oops I already have ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
I live in beautiful Newcastle, New South Wales. Anyone else from this part of the world?
I drove public buses for 26 years, suffered shoulder injury on the job about two years ago & was medically retired in November last year - fancy term for being dumped.
the injury is permanent so it doesn't look like I'll be working anytime soon - looking for something to do from home. Any ideas? :shrug:
I'm more of a lurker then a poster - being a total noob there's not much I can contribute right now...
Anyway it is great to be here, I feel right at home already :beer1:

G'Day and welcome, Arek.

Your presence is enough to contribute ATM - glad to have you on board
