Thanked: 0Wow!
You guys are FAST to respond!
Thanks a lot for all the replies!
Looks like the general consensus is : Go for it, you'll be fine.
As long as I invest in some good equipment the rest should follow I guess.
Any reviews on the "art of manliness" razor and strop as far as quality/durability?
I'm going to book a beard trim and straight razor contour shaving at the barber and see how they do/how I like it.
Probably going to invest in the cream/mug/brush right now as it seems like an overdue upgrade compare to the canned goo and keep reading EVERY posts on this forum before I get to pick a razor/strop.
Also, just went by the sharpener, says he charges $15 for a hone on a brand new ready to shave razor, about $20 for maintenance honing once it's used. Seems fair pricing?
He also had a few refurbished razors. One caught my intention in a pretty wooden box. Round tip. Is "puma" a good brand?
Thanks again for all the responses!
Anyone in the bay area if one day I want to learn how to strop and/or hone?
