Hello, Shave Den. I am new to the board and to safety razors in general. Trying a safety razor is a bit of an experiment for me. I fancy myself somewhat of a throwback, so using a safety razor seems to be a perfect fit. Thanks to the advice on the newbie board, I am waiting to take delivery of a 1940's Gillette Ball End Tech. I look forward talking to everyone and learning this new skill. Hopefully, great shaves and a new hobby await.
...to The Shave Den family! Be sure to stop by The Shave Den "Master Sticky" thread to familiarize yourself with the rules and different areas of The Shave Den!
to TSD.......Can you post pics of the razor when you get it? The tech head is a nice shaver and will fit a variety of handles.
Welcome to a fellow Washingtonian...I grew up in and around D.C......more than a few years ago....I mean, when I was a kid the Wash. Senators were a Ball Club...lol Although I left around '89 and haven't been back....I'm looking forward to heading back one day and checking out the old digs.... Welcome and wishing you many great shaves and much fun getting them....Jody gave you a link to the Shave School Master Stickys....those are the "Keys To the Kingdom"...Pull up a comfy chair, pour a refreshing beverage and check them out....a ton of info and alot of fun... See U round the Den...
I can tell you, seeing the capitol and other monuments in dc are still a little awe inspiring. I guess when I no longer have that feeling, it will be time to leave. Thanks for the welcome.
Welcome aboard! There are lots of great people here more than willing to help you along. Jump right in and enjoy.
Thanks for the welcome! I have been perusing the newbie links and enjoying every minute. I can see, this could become an addiction pretty quickly. The new ball club in town is having quite a year. Nationals fever is catching on. DC is....well....DC, a world unto itself....and not always based in reality (hence the screen name) I enjoy it here. One day, I may leave, but I dot think it will be anytime soon.
Welcome to the den! You might want to peruse the link in my signature, it's solid basic advice and will give you a baseline for when you get your razor.
Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
