Hello Gents,
Looking to start using a straight razor, I have always used the Mach 3 razors, but recently switch to a DE razor and the difference is very noticable, now I want to get into using the straight razor. I've seen videos on youtube, google, you name it. It looks very scary, but with time, patience and practice it will all be fine.
I've already read a few threads on here on what to buy and not to buy. With so many razors out there , how do you know which is the best one? Obviously price will play a major role on the purchase of a razor, I've been looking at Dovo, DA, Wapi and so on, the one that really caught my eye was the Dovo brand, maybe because it's made in Germany and they make good products over there, but their prices are a little steep, and the price is just the razor, not a started kit like some of the others I've seen.
Having a "good" razor is very important, but what about the other stuff that you need? How important are they? Is it ok to spend 100 bucks or more on a razor and be somewhat cheap with a strop, brush etc? And I am nor looking to spend 10-15 bucks on ebay, one thing I know from experience is that if you buy cheap, it will cost you more in the long run.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance
