Welcome, fellow Chris person! Glad you could join!

Do you partake in traditional shaving also? What are some of your favorite bits of hardware/software?

Howdy, AlsoChris! I am most certainly a traditional shaver. Just posted my first journal entry by way of introduction. I think that the post will answer your questions. But as a tease, the razor seeing the most game time right now is my GEM Clog Pruf, and my favorite brush was custom made by a member of this group.

I got into it around the middle of 2016. And man. I really jumped in with both feet. I toyed around with straights a little at first, but didn't want to invest in all of what seemed to be required for honing. Never had any proper instruction and the guys I watched online were using some pretty expensive gear. So I sold my straights for a tidy profit, got some shavettes and went at it. I'd like to get into straight when I have the time and resources to do it right. I reckon it didn't help that my first straight was a pristine Boker that I was afraid to mess up, and then an old cheapie that I could not cut a blade of grass with.

Sounds like my first go with straights! There’s loads of us that shave with them and who are happy to heal others get started right.
