Thread: Newbie returning to wet shaving after using electric for years!

Hi, my names Mike, 29, from London, England.
I used to shave with all the 'flash' Gillettes, MACHS etc etc. Then went onto using an electric Phillishave. I used this since Sept 2000 and it recently broke.
I have now decided to go back to wet shaving and thought Id go the old school way of a straight edge razor.

This is why Ive registered on this forum. Ive been reading up and have decided on one of two 'starter packages' and am seeking advice on what one to go for. One admitadly is slightly expensive but then Im assuming its because its DOVO. Although including P&P to the Uk its only £40 more plus it comes with a shaving mug.

Please be honest in what you would recomend and Im also open to other suggestions for my first straight razor.

Mike.
