Greetings all! I have been a part of the straight and DE wet shaving community since 2008 and participated in the art as I refer to it for several years. It's a bit of a long story but I had to go on a let's call it a shaving sabbatical for health reasons for some time and have recently been able to return to the fold. I was looking around and saw a tube vid of a Koraat razor, a brand I hadn't heard of prior by a member/owner here, Barber Dave. So I came over to check out this scene. It seems like a pretty good bunch over here and am happy to have arrived.
 
Happy you checked us out! I think you will find that the people here at TSC are some of the best-est of wet shavers around! Pull up a chair, grab a drink and jump in a conversation!
 
Welcome Sean! Glad your back in the game and decided to visit!

What kinds of traditional shaving gear/software are you in to?

Years ago I spent a considerable amount of time on the bay in search of straights that would satisfy this interestingly very addictive hobby/art.
I started off with Norton wetstones and after not getting satisfying results (due to my lack of dexterity at the time), I decided to migrate straight to Shaptons, pardon the pun. So I could focus funds towards shavers. Along the way I started blending in DE's, vintage Gillette's, Merkur's etc. I resolved to stick with Israeli Personna's blades once I learned they worked best for my skin.
