Thread: Newbie needing help with purchasing 1st straight razor and some myths.

I also concur that you might want to pass on that razor and get one from someone here.
You will have no problem with the stropping.
The resting is not true as far as I have found. I have used a favorite razor for a week every day with no noticable difference.
I dry mine on the same towel that I have finished drying myself from my shower. You really don't have to get crazy about this just make sure the entire blade is dry.

Thank you all for your help with the myths that I have run across. I did not purchase a Kamisori and just received my first Dovo (a ‘Hen and Roster’) from Solingen today!

I will shave soon!
