Thread: About to purchase first razor - thoughts...

Welcome to SRP, eraser 82. Cooking ad shaving are very similar. Attention to details to achieve a stand out product. The Devo is a good choice. Check Fendrihan.com for razors. Honing razors and knives are like comparing apples and oranges. The skills don't translate equally. Get a good razor, have it honed by a professional and get a barber's hone or an 8k Naninwa, a decent linen/leather strop to learn how to keep and refresh the razor for at least a years worth on maintenance before needing re honing. Soaps/creams, many to choose from. My personal choice for my sensitive skin is Mitchells Wool Fat, Kiss My Face, Aveeno Therapeutic Shaving Cream (in a can no less), many glycerin based soaps and most can be gotten unscented. If you know what your face is sensitive too, that helps. If you can avoid the different addictions we fall prey to in this shaving madness you will not be spending a great deal.
