    Default Finally

    Ok I did it. After practicing stropping with a butter knife for weeks, working on lather technique while DE shaving, and reading/video watching I have finally pulled the trigger on a straight razor. I bought it from ebay. Hoping to get it Saturday. It is a Dorko. The seller claims he bought it NOS a short time ago. He says it is honed, stropped, and shave ready. I hope it is a good one. I am thinking I will ask Lynn to check it out to ensure it has an adequate edge before using it.

    Nice, a Dorko, if you're going to dive in, couldn't dive in with a nicer razor!

    Remember, take your time, enjoy the journey, forget about the destination LOL, and it always helped me when I tried to over-complicate things, that it's just shaving, and to keep it simple!

    Looks like your off to a great start!

    WOW, you did great!!! You got you a nice catch! When you do something, you go all out don't you? Make sure you also get you a second razor for a backup but considering what you got so far you made an excellent choice.
