Howdy, New guy from Maryland. Picked up my first shavette yesterday due to the thought it would be easier to line up my beard. My thought was right and definitely happy with the switch so far. Not happy with my wants to be better by going to straight razor soon, well I'm happy, bank account won't. Hoping to learn more on straight razors, honing, and now that I've been looking more, collecting. There are some really beautiful pieces out there. Thanks for having me, and keeping me busy researching the topics here.
Welcome @Kenneth Sampson ! Bunch of us are going to be using shavettes in the 30 Day Rule/Focus group starting in January. It's a gathering of old timers learning new things, and new guys developing techniques to use old razors. Stop by, lurk, post if it looks interesting. The only commitment is to yourself & trying to get the best shaves of your life. Plenty of advice, opinions, maybe even actual information! (And there may be shenanigans)
Hi! I'm not too far up the road from you, in Pennsauken, NJ. 'Bout an hour and a half from Havre de Grace.
I'm about 2 hours South of there. I have been wanting to visit it though, the photographer in me has seen some great photos from there.
