Welcome mate!
Another straight shaver - would be interested to know relative number now, SR8 users might almost be the majority ???
What other kit have you got? Soaps, creams brushes?

I wonder if this is something @MonstaAU could implement? An indication as to whether we use a straight, DE or SE, or a combination of the three?

Not many soaps, have exactly 1 brush (Simpson synthetic) have a number of DE razors, couple of Wolfmans (ti and ss) bbs1, Tradere oc, Fatboy, ATT r1 and an Eclipse red ring, I think that covers most of it.
DE's obviously (autocorrect)

Welcome @Wolf. My Dad's family farm was in Deloraine with Pop spending his later years at Primrose Sands on the Bay. Way back when, both places were on dirt tracks. Must Google Earth them and see the changes that time brings, even to such a beautiful place as Tassie, or as all Taswegians say, "The Mainland".

Hey there @Wolf and welcome mate.
You've got a good few quality DE's -both modern and vintage. Seems like you had a huge dose of RAD* if you've still only got a solitary brush and a few soaps.
Quite a few blokes here like the Kamisori (you've got a disposable blade one of its the "non-folding Feather DX/AC") but the real deal. It's a mean shaver. You should try a western-style straight freshly honed. You'd love it.

I really like the kamisori style, I don't want to go the Japanese asymmetric way just yet , going to try a western style symmetric kamisori first. I'm not familiar with honing yet so regular straights may be a smaller learning curve.
