I have used a double edge for the past year and have managed to get the technique perfect. I managed to shave in the dark, during an eletrical outage at home with my double edges, and it came out excellent no blood no nothing. I think that the straight is the next challenge for me. I do not like the price tag on the whole set of hardware all at once $132 from a local shop. I have noticed that classic shaving sells a shavette with a disposable blade for the beginner. for $40 I get a stright to experiment with while I am learning the craft.
What is your advice about the shavette from Dovo as a starter? Would it be a better idea to go with the whole startup hardware and forget about the shavette? Is it a good idea or a bad idea?
