    Default Greetings and Felicitations from Philadelphia!

    Good morning, all! And Happy Easter, as appropriate!

    My name is Glenn and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I had been enjoying shaving with a DE razor for a few years but have been fascinated by straight razor shaving for a long time. On a whim, I recently took the plunge and bought a serviceable straight, watched Lynn's You-Tube video and bought his DVD and am now enjoying the pleasures (in earnest) of the gentlemanly shave!

    I have quickly purchased a good strop and 2 nice razors from SRD; a Ralph Aust and Dovo! The acquisition syndrome begins!

    This site and Imperial Shaving have been great resources for me as I begin, so thanks to all who contribute and work to introduce the uninitiated but interested to "true" shaving. I'm at the sometimes irritating beginning of learning a new skill, but all-in-all, it's a pleasure to be here!

    That is an excellent starter "toolkit." Now just think of all the soaps, lotions and after shaves you can buy.

    Welcome to SRP Harper. Just go slow and pay attention, you'll get it quick enough. RAD ? Don't know what that is :<0) I call it Duck hunting.
    If you run into special learning curves and go off road just post a thread. You'll get more ideas on how to get back than you can read in a day.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
