Hey all,
My names Aaron, im 26 (Though not for much longer, the year seems to be drawing to a close rather quickly!), and i live in a small village in Somerset (Which isn't all that far from Glastonbury, a town which some of you may be somewhat familiar with).
I've been talking about getting into using a straight razor for quite some time, and have finally decided i'm going to stop talking about it and actually make it happen. I was spurred on by the brush and cream that i received as a christmas present, and figured that since i have those, i may aswell go ahead and get the rest :D!
I think over the last few weeks i've probably read just about every beginners post that there is on here, absorbing all of the information that i possibly can, along with various other posts.
I headed over to SRD and had a look through some of the sets, and took a liking to the Boker King Cutter. I have since decided that i may start with a Sight Unseen deal from whippeddog, as if i'm going to spend out on a razor, i dont particularly want to go ruining a perfectly good blade or strop. My thinking is that it may be better to get the basics down first, and then treat myself once i have a firmer grasp on what i'm doing.
Hopefully by the end of next week i'll have an order placed, and then the waiting game begins. I have to say though, i'm already buzzing at the thought of having it arrive!
