Greetings from yet another straight shaver wannabe! ;-)
Hi all, I'm Miche from Chicago. I've recently started DE shaving and because of my excitement over finally enjoying the ritual of shaving, a coworker gave me a straight that she'd had in a drawer (a Clauberg Tonsorial Gem that's on its way to Glen of Gemstar Customs for honing). It sat on my shelf for a month, while I would occasionally pick it up and get a feel for it. I finally made up my mind to learn to use it, so here I am, out of lurking, ready to join the community and learn as much as I can. Before I've even had a razor to my face, RAD hit and I started looking at every site, trying to find a "prize" razor without having the experience to know one if I saw it. So I slowed all that down and I did buy a 2nd (we won't talk about the two in between) razor so that I can have two in rotation and refine my technique. I've learned a LOT by reading and now look forward to learning by doing.
