I just bought my first straight and strop, courtesy of LarryAndro, a fellow forum goer. Now that I've procured a razor, anyone able to point me to some instructional videos on how to use it? I've seen the interactive guide Joel put up, but I figure more is better where this is concerned.
Straight's on the way!

I think Lynn's DVD is the most complete. You can find it on straightrazordesigns.com
It is considerably less expensive than the copay for an acute care center visit, much less that to an ER.
Part of the deal with my wife for getting the razor. Honestly, I'm thinking it will cost less than repairing the damage to it I might cause while operating uneducated.
It's also available in separate parts on Youtube.
There are heaps on youtube - search for jockeys41.
Jockeys were my first entry, great stuff!
Also a nice video by "X", called something like "one handed straight shave"
And Lynns of course.
Joel's vid, on the first page of B&B is a nice, fast intro, very informative & most likely responsible of last weeks "straight craze" over here.
Vendors should give him a percentage

Larry is a great guy; he has spent considerable time with me by way of PM on the matter of straights. And I have been checking out his stock lately myself; what did you buy?
