New to the group

Well, I'm hooked, I now have bought a genco, a shumate, and a hen and rooster.

 

Nice, but there's an unwritten rule 'round here -- no pics, didn't happen

 

Hello Neverdullsteve, welcome. I will try to check the forum more often.

Bought a cheap strop. And thanks for the gssixgun link.

 

I started with a Feather SR until I got the hang of it. An inexpensive strop is sound advice. I have tended to stick with new razors, just seemed a bit dodgy on that big website. I have been happy with the new razors. I do have one Dorko that I bought from a store in Arizona and have been happy with it. It is lose in the pants so I have to be a little careful when I open it.
Regards
Jeff

 

Thanks for the advice. I did buy the cheaper strop.

 

Welcome aboard and if you think straights are bad for cuts try a shavette.

 

Well, I did try a shavette and you are correct. It bit me good

 

Welcome to the den!! Buffalo is one of my favorite cities. In fact I'm currently wearing a concert shirt I got while I was there back in 2018. A fantastic little venue called Town Hall. Cant's wait for this pandemic to subside. In addition to shaving watching live bands is one of my passions.
