    Default Just ordered a straight razor and strop

    Hello everyone. I am fairly new to this forum but have been shaving with a shavette for some time now and thanks to some encouragement from members here have decided to get a straight razor. This is what is either on the way or already here.

    New Dovo Best Value Half Hollow 5/8
    Poor Mans Strop Kit (including strop, balsa, and pastes)
    Chinese River Stone (finishing stone)

    I believe this will get me by until I can invest in a Norton 4000/8000 Hone.

    Of course I have everything else such as brush and soap ect.…

    Thanks to everyone as I begin to slowly spend my retirement money. Lol

    why spend it slowly? go out with a flourish!

    welcome to SRP! yes often we are enablers but we do have a good support system, in the form of people who have suffered the various "AD" problems longer and vicariously let us enjoy their sins through pictures.


    may you have 50 years to enjoy your retirement.

    If your still spending slowly then leave the site quickly and don't come back or be prepared to loose money quicker and quicker as time goes by. The problem is your told how good it is and you want to try too. Unfortunately there are so many things to try.

    Welcome to SRP and the world of Straight Razors, and I have to agree with the above that if you want to spend your money slowly you came to the wrong place.
