Thread: New Guy

Hello everyone,
I am enthusiastically interested in the art of shaving with a straight razor. Luckily I have found an abundance of good information in the responses you guys have had to other rookies' questions. Once my paypal transfer clears, I will be ordering one of the starter kits from thewellshavedgentleman.com and I look forward to my first attempt at a shave. I guess I am just trying to introduce myself and warn that I may have some questions once I get my gear. Hopefully the questions won't include things like, "Is arterial blood light or dark?" At any rate, I am glad to have found a forum full of people who know their stuff and can hopefully guide me through the basics without any undue scarring.

Welcome!! However cuts do happen

Hey nastyman, Welcome. any help you need all you have to do is ask. By the way I believe arterial blood is dark.

Welcome to the club, Justin. Hope you dig it here.

I never paid any attention to the colour. I am more impressed by the squirting pulses of the blood from an artery. That's how I tell.

Thanks for the welcome. I am sure I will shed my fair share of blood in the learning process, but I am still optomistic. Anything is better than having a constantly irritated neck courtesy of Gillette.

Welcome nastyman. I also purchased one of Tony's starter kits and I've been a happy straight razor shaver for a couple of months now.

Bleeding will make a man out of you!! I love showing off my battle scars.
