    Good evening to you all. I'm a 25-year-old from the USA. I don't give out my IRL name, so call me Vintage or Vinn.
    For some time now, I've had a fascination for antiques and 1800s-style steampunk technology, and the appearance of this forum site does give me a similar vibe. How appropriate. ^ω^

    Feel free to ask me anything, but nothing too personal, please.

    Welcome to the Shave Den. I like old tools myself, especially old woodworking tools. It sounds like you will fit right in here. Check out the straight razor threads.

    Welcome to TSD @VintageSoap
    Do you actually shave with traditional tools?

    I'll be getting my first straight razor some time next week. I already have the other necessities, except the brush w/ bowl.

    What do you use to shave?

    Well, I have been down this rabbit hole for over 6 years. All you have to do is click on "My Shave Den" and you will see. Looking forward to hearing about your shaves. Check out the 30DC thread if you are interested in solidifying your technique. Plus, we have some terrific straight razor users here and corresponding threads. Make yourself at home; ask questions; post shave pictures and enjoy the best shave forum on the internet.

    Welcome Vinn!

    My name is Charlie, but I also go by Danger. Please don't ask why. I'll speak more free once the statute of limitations has expired. :)

    I echo @Primotenore's recommendation to drop by the 30 Day Rule Focus thread. It's a great place to build your skills as you embark on your straight razor journey.

    What do you mean by that, exactly?
    And I like your glow-in-the-dark watch avatar there.
