Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jeremy. I've always used a cheapo bic razor with a few blades and always had problems getting the chin area smooth. I've also always heard straight razors were the best shave, and just thought they were cool anyway, so here I am. I don't have a razor yet, and was wondering about the cheaper DOVO razors that are only around $40. Are they good enough or am I better off spending a little more and getting something else? Is there perhaps something even cheaper that one of you know about? I plan to nudge the girlfriend into getting me a nice one for my birthday in the future... but for now I'm your typical poor college student, so I'm looking for the cheapest I can that will still get me a decent shave. Lastly, just wanted to say how awesome you guys are. I've already learned so much just reading the stickies and looking around at random posts. Thanks guys.
