First Straight Razor and hopefully more to come!

Just got this and I am sure it won't be my last. Switching from a safety razor to a Str8 will be different but I am excited.

How does it shave?

Have not tried it yet but let you know. :) I see some cuts and nicks coming my way.

Maybe not. Try it.

Welcome to SRP. That's a beautiful razor. Do you know if it's shave ready?

Got it from Fendrihan and it says pre-sharpened by Thiers Issard but not sure that means shave ready.
I have a place I town that does straight shaves and also gives a lesson. Going to pay for a lesson and make sure I get off to a good start.

She may not be "shave ready" but hopefully where you go to for your lesson can help with that.

That being said, that's a honey of a razor! Nice choice!

Good luck! You'll love shaving with a straight razor. I'm new at it myself. I'm hooked!

Would not be Jarrod per chance, would it? he's a wizard with a coticule.

Let us know how the lesson goes! We need all the details. I find it interesting and very cool that some barbers are doing this...

Man that is a sweet razor. Congrats.

Not sure as a friend just told me about the this place in town(international blade and shears). I was just looking at their list of services and it said straight razor and safety razor classes. Really need to call and get more details. Definitely let everyone know how it goes. Very excited to get started.

It usually doesn't mean that, unfortunately.

Yeah, I don't know a lot about str8's but have to start somewhere. It will be people on this forum and practice will be my biggest teachers.

Thanks everyone for advice.

Nice razor man... Good Luck!

Good luck, fantastic razor. I hope it treats you well.
