Greetings from the great white north
Hi Ya'all,
I've been playing with the idea with straight shaving for a while, as much nowadays we got so much used of the fast food wet shaving, the 50+ blades on the cartridge that shaves the best and so on but regardless I always liked the traditional way.
Especially back home (Istanbul) were most barbers were able to do it (even if it's the shavette)
So, long story short, now with x-mas approaching, it's time for some real man's stuff.
As a newbie, you try to soak in any info you can get and sort the good from the bad.(That's how I ended up here) I'm close to make a decision on which straight I would like to have.
I don't like the idea of buying one razor for beginners and upgrading later on(allthough there is deal for a complete set with a Dovo C-mon for 179$ CAD). Instead I laid an eye on 2 razors (Boker-King Cutter 6/8 and TI Special C. 6/8). There is absolutely no particular reason why I have chosen the 6/8 over 5/8. Both razors are priced the same, which is a bit expensive up here in Canada but what to do, eh?
Any suggestions, thoughts and directions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time and reading.
