Thanked: 0Straight razor newb.
I am new to this Straight Razor stuff. I been reading however about first time razor or starter razors. I also been reading that it is good to go scout flea markets and antique shops. I own 2 sheffield steel razors and one solingen steel straight razor.
What i am confused about is what is a good razor? Is it the brand? Is it because of the shape of the blade might not match up to my skin? Is it ergonomics? I want to get a starter straight razor but it be a great razor but what qualifies that? I read about thiers issard and DOVO but what makes them better than my 2 sheffields and 1 solingen? Can someone explain what is the "starter razor". Why do you need a starter? Are all razors not the same? I know stainless is hard to sharpen and sheffield and solingen are the best but how do i go about settling on a razor? sorry for so many questions guys.
