Order for first razor placed!
Well I did it. After a ton of research and reading, I made my first SR purchase today. I looked at god knows how many different razors and strops and gear in the past weeks and decided that I was going to keep my first purchase as simple as possible and find a good set that I can start with. Do I know if I prefer a 5/8 to a 7/8? No. Do I prefer 1/2 hollow to a wedge? Couldn't tell ya. But I do know that my purchase was based on a lot of information I read and absorbed through most of you. What would be a good starting point?
I went with the "Dovo Best Quality White 5/8 Straight Razor Set". Purchase was with SRD. I figured, buy the set so I can at least start to learn the time honored practice with everything that a beginner would need for the first shave. I think my choice is a good starting point to learn and start training my hands on how to move a blade across my face and not through it :)
Possibly long winded post but damn if I'm not excited as all hell to begin! Thanks to all of you for post after post of information I was ripping through in the forums. Hopefully I don't slide down this slope....it's sharp!
