So What's Your Story?
I like to think everyone has at least a little bit of a story to explain why or how they began straight razor shaving. So go ahead and share your story so that it won't be forgotten! Here's mine:
About 2 years a friend go me started on using the brush and soap you can get from Walgreens. He mentioned straight shaving but he didn't do it so neither did I. Then I went to college at the end of the year and started back on canned goo after the first semester (I wasn't getting the lather right because I didn't know better so I didn't realize how wonderful it is). My Mom knew I had been using a brush and soap and didn't know that I had stopped. She went on vacation with some friends and went into some small shop. She saw a high quality brush and Pre de Provence cream in the shop and bought it for me. About a week later I watched Sweeney Todd. This was strike 3 and by then I had quite the interest in the subject. I then started googling and youtubing to find more information on straight shaving. I stumbled upon Lynn's amature shave video he made. The video led me right to SRP. Once I found SRP there was no going back, I was hooked. Hope you like my story and I hope to read some interesting ones from everyone else!
Happy shaving and Happy Halloween!
