Default Hello, Gents

Hello, Gentlemen;

Like many, I'm really impressed with the wealth of knowledge that's available on this great site, and the knowledgeable folks who are so generously willing to share what they know to the rest of us new guys. I've had a lifelong interest in straight razors, and was thrilled to find a resurgence in wet shaving and place to learn about it. I'm currently waiting for my first of 6 vintage razors so I can get started!

Thanks again,

Larry P

Not married yet, Woodchuck, but soon. I've quickly learned that this place will do nothing but feed an addiction!

Welcome to SRP. Cool to have 6 razors coming. I hope that you get many , many more .... but get 'em before the wedding.
