Thread: welcome resources for the shaving enthusiast

Hello ladies and gents and welcome to the shaving forums. We all came here for different reasons, some because they loved the razors, some because you want to save money or help the environment. But the one thing that determines whether we stay is how good a shave we get. That's the bottom line, if the shave is bad we aren't going to stick with it. So it's vitally important that the new guys receive as much help as possible in the beginning if we want our hobby to grow and flourish. Now in a perfect world one of us older more experienced guys would go the the new persons house and let them watch us shave, watch their first shave and help them learn technique. They would also help them with the little things like how to strop properly and a little about maintaining their equipment. Sorry guys, this isn't a perfect world and we will probably never get that personal kind of service and help. So what I hope to do in this thread is to collect as many really good quality shaving related videos as I can so that the new guys can at least see someone shave before they have to jump in. Now before everyone starts to yell that this video belongs here or there, understand I am, at this point, just collecting videos that will help new shavers. As time goes on we will probably distribute these throughout the other forums.
So anyway, here are some videos and threads that I hope will help to make your first shaves a pleasure and help you down the road to a life-long love for straight razor shaving. If you would like to recommend a video or have an idea that you think would help, please feel free to PM me or Richz or any of the Mods, as we are all here for you guys.
