I think that is a sound choice. The dovo best is a nice razor as well. I miss mine
I started out with a Ralf Aust 5/8 and Latigo strop from SRD. No regrets.
yep, that will do very nicely.
That'll work. I have one and love it (the razor). I want that strop, but have the SRD modular paddle strop, so can't rationalize it (yet).
I agree that you can't go wrong with SRD.
I have the same 5/8 Raust as you... great razor. Still one of my favs.
Good to know! And also glad that no one so far has said . . .
"DEAR GOD NO MAN!!!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?" :gaah:
Thinking I might place that order tomorrow . . . :beer2:
i would add to get crox spray. this way you can hold off on the free honing for when you really need it.
i started with this razor and i hurt the edge pretty fast. i just used the crox to get it back to shave ready. haven't used the certificate yet.
I think you made a great choice. I especially think you did well by ordering the 3" strop. This is a great thing to get in to and by choosing quality from SRP you cannot go wrong. I hope you have a great time with it, and please go slow at first. Just take your time. I made a suggestion the other day to a fellow to, 1 take his time and 2 let his wife know when he was shaving so she doesn't holler your name out and startle you, or sling the door open and startle you that way. Anyway I hope you have a great time with it and please say how the Faust does. I have wanted one for a whlie but.... anyhow, be safe.
Both great products. Welcome to loving shaving
