Thanked: 0What do i need to start SR shaving?
Hello everyone, This is my first post here. I have been reading on this sight for awhile now and i think i have learned alot but i still have a couple question.
First off i'll explain my situation. I am in the military and required to be clean shaven at all times. So a decent razor is a must have. I have used cartridge and electric razors since i have been shaving, up until recently. For the past 2 weeks i have been using a very cheap disposable straight razor. $4 dollar holder and some Personna Hair shaper blades. i am getting a good shave with it and i really enjoy shaving with it. I want to move up to a real straight blade razor. I will be deploying very soon and need to gather up the required supplies that i will be needing for the next 10 months. So here is my question.
What exactly do i need to start straight shaving? .
I already my soaps, brush, bowl, aftershave and that pen that stops the bleeding.
I know i need a strop, but what about a hone and those abrasive paste i have read about?
Pre-shave oil? I don't know.
How many different razors do i need? Can i use the same blades everyday?
I just wanna make sure i have what i need when i leave. i don't wanna be a thousand miles off the coast and realize i forgot something.
One of the reasons i want to start SR shaving is too save some money? The second is to have something to pass the time and let me clear my head from everything going on.
Lastly, of course im on a low budget. Definitely looking for a used razor but which kind? Sorry for the long post i just wanted to be thorough. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.-JusticeLast edited by Justice; 01-29-2014 at 01:52 AM.
