Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I have been visiting this site almost daily for a couple of months now. I have been shaving with a DE razor for going on 6 months. Also, I have been shaving with a traditional straight razor as well, mainly on weekends, for about 2 months now. Currently using a Gillette Fatboy, 67 Gillette Super Speed, switching between Astra and Derby razors. For cream I have been using Proraso, soap, Tabac. Straight razor is a late 30's early 40's Kropp and SRD latigo strop. Still many things I want to experiment with of course.

I must say, this is a great site and I am glad to be a member. Everybody seems very friendly and helpful. I have learned so much just by reading the tutorials and posts over the past couple of months. I'm only 6 months in and have come a long way since that early January blood bath that took place in my bathroom :001_smile, thanks to the members of this site.

Glad you are enjoying the information here! Also, I'm glad you posted. You really are in the thick of things using both DE's and a straight! Very cool!

Be sure you take a look at the following thread. It has a lot of helpful information.

Always remember, relax but be vigilant when you shave!
