    Default Hello all

    I, like a few of the other fellows, feel its time to say hello. I have been lurking a month or so.

    Tomorrow will be my first straight razor shave. I've been reading all of the threads relevant to a noob on his first attempt, watching the videos, aquired a fine shave ready razor from Sham, spoken with a few of the experienced guys. Even had a fairly successful attemp with creating lather this morning so..... now its time to put it all together.

    I am heading away with the bride on a mini vacation down the shore. Will be nice and relaxing as we have three teen aged daughters and not much time "just us" time together. So, I will take the opportunity to relax a bit more with what I feel will be an enjoyable straight razor shave, a nice cigar or two, a few beverages and NO WORK.

    Wish me luck. I hope to report favorable results in the coming days.

    Mike

    Welcome to posting on SRP and best of luck with your first shave.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Welcome from out of the shadows.

    Sounds like you've done your homework. Remember there is no final exam and no contest winners.

    Enjoy your break and your first straight shave experience.

    Welcome to SRP. Good luck on your first shave. Remember straight shaving is a art all to itself and BBS takes time.
