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.

I think I'm on my third, with age comes memory loss. Seriously though all of your post makes total sense to me. Men fix wires mice chew though them...when you getting the wood burner? :•)

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 likes this.Just call me Harold

@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?

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
