Hello From Mesa AZ

I am intrigued at the prospect of using a straight razor. I have always used a multi blade cartridge user and have been shaving my head for the past 11 yrs. I discovered the site yesterday and browsed it for the better part of the day. My wife thinks I'm crazy to want to learn the art of using a straight razor... She thinks that I will be a bloody mess if I attempt it.

I hope to purchase a razor and the accessories soon and hope to find a local resource to do so.

I will continue to scour the forums to gain any bit of info I can.

Welcome. Lots of guys wives think that til they see how soft your face is after shaving, then the tune will change. Keep us posted on your progress.

For a local resource to stock your den, check out Rubinov's on 7th street just south of Dunlap. they have a great selection of classic barbershop products. They also have a good selection of Italian products, as well as brushes, DE razors and blades, and they also have straights. Read all you can, this site has a lot of information. It will help minimize the blood loss.
Take your time and enjoy the journey.
