Hello from the DC area

I began this quest of straight razor shaving in December of 2012. I have browsed the site several times and found it helpful, and I dove in to become a member just a day ago. I wanted to begin straight razor shaving to help the bumps on my face go away. I am active duty in the Air Force, and so shaving is a part of the daily regimen. Shaving that often with a safety razor is horrendous, especially on my neck area. That stuff BURNS!! I enjoy the almost meditative state I go into when I shave this way. I'm not great at it, but I will continue. I do enjoy it, so hopefully with help, I will become even more manly and be able to achieve that ever so elusive BBS shave! :soapbox:

Well to start Welcome to the forum :chapeau

Next Thank You for your service, :chapeau

And last but not least, keep at it it will get better everyday.

Thank you. It is greatly appreciated when fellow Americans show gratitude. I am not worthy, but I am appreciative.

Welcome. Have fun!
