Welcome to the B&B!
Welcome. Check out www.straightrazorplace.com, and also the PDF you can download from this page, The Art of the Straight Razor Shave. I use a safety razor myself, but quite a few here enjoy the straight razor.
Welcome to the forums!
Welcome to your new home. Happy Shaving
Welcome to the forum! One of the things I seriously suggest is that you first have your razor honed by an expert, so that you can start shaving with it in the condition that it should be in. The skill of honing is difficult to learn, if you don't know what kind of a sharp edge you're trying to achieve. As Michael said, the straightrazorplace.com is where you should be looking for expert guidance, although we have a section for str8 shaving discussion on this forum also. But there's a lot more here about soaps, creams, brushes, ASB's, AS, etc. so we expect you will be spending some further time here!
Welcome to B&B. Great to have you with us.
