Its called a mid life crisis john paul. Ha ha
Could be. Is it possible to have two mid life crises? I think I had the first one when I was 21. I don't really feel like buying a convertible.
Great post. I am looking at buying my first SE after years with a Merkur DE. And I've been looking at the same Dovo you are buying. But how did you decide on a 5/8?
JMO, but if it was me, and they're in stock I'd pick the Ralf Aust over the Dovo.
On the size question, lots of folks start with a 5/8. It's a little easier to maneuver when learning, although there's really not much difference.
@Erosadis... seriously, this is almost exactly how I got into straight shaving. I'm a big fan of 1911 pistols and my favorite part was cleaning them after the range. I loved the "sit and focus and think of nothing else". I swear I use straights for the same reason. I like the challenge of learning something new, and I love zoning out and doing something methodical. I also build my own computers and do all the upgrades around my house.
I'll check it out. Why do you prefer the Ralf Aust?
Definitely possible to have 2 mid-life crises. Here's me 10 years ago w/ my convertible Caddy:

I also started with the 5/8 Aust from SRD. It's a great beginner razor. Keep in mind though - if you think guns are expensive, you ain't seen nothing yet. I have three 1911's that MAYBE add up to what I've spent on razors and supplies over the last year.
Could possible end up with a wood stove, I ended up with one in a 900sqft cabin in Tue woods. Guess it's cheaper then a Porsche
