Thread: New to straight shaving

The cbj just like the feather artist club are more disposable blade straights then shaveets. So the will give you a really good feel of shaving with a straight. The major difference for you will be that the cbj is a kamisori style razor. So the technique will be different then a Western SR so will be starting over a bit.

As suggested classifieds, srd or any of the other shops you see talked about here will get you started on the right foot.

Chrox is a good choice for touch ups. Buy from a SR site to be sure you get right grade. Then when you apply it do so sparingly you want the board to have a light green haze not be all green.

Welcome and good luck

Both are often recommended as a first razor. I don't think there's a significant enough difference to worry about really. They're both excellent, meaning either one can potentially last a lifetime or more.
