    Just started using a straight edge in your 50s?!!
    OMG I'd probably need a doctor real quick! I can't see as well as I used to and would not trust myself. Plus my spouse would probably force another life insurance policy on me! ;)

    SR at 71? You guys are killing me...which is probably what I'd do to myself with a SR in my own hands! :sick013:

    What kind of razor are you using (sorry if that's already been answered.)

    Don't have one yet, I'm the ultimate newbie!
    I just signed on at Garry's Sample Shop for his Vintage Razor Starter Kit, so whatever one he ships will be my first DE. Hope to be able to train on it for awhile and go from there.
    Thanks for the welcome,

    You'll find a lot of opinions here re: the best one to start with, I'm sure they'll all be correct :bounce015: I suggest something mild like a Gillette ball-end Tech or a Schick Krona. They won't break the bank and they also won't cut you up

    Thanks I appreciate the advice (and it's why I signed up). I have no preference for razors as I've never had a traditional shave, so I'm looking forward to see what comes with my kit.

    Welcome! Great tips on here from some pretty decent humans. Don't hesitate asking specific questions about products or techniques. You'll get great info on both here.

    A warm welcome to you from North Texas. You might want to take a look at some of the references contained in my signature line below for discussions of the 30 Day systems and more on shaving hardware and software.

    With that being said ...

    Welcome to the Den.

    We know you'll fit right in.

    So grab yourself a comfy chair,

    and give our threads a spin!
