Welcome to SRP Katu. I wish I'd known about SRP when I got my first Str8. Great bunch of folks here. Let us know what you end up getting.

Welcome!
Glad you decided to join out little community; you'll be happy you ditched that Gillette Grater soon enough.

Thanked: 278Hi! Fellow noob here. Only suggestion I can make is to buy a truly "shave-ready" razor or get someone who really knows what they are doing to sharpen one for you. Not only will this be cheaper than buying a razor plus hones, it will also teach you what a really sharp blade is like.
I know this is good advice because I failed to follow it!
It took me ages to hone my factory-fresh Dovo to give a decent shave, and even now it has a long way to go. For now I'm going to stop obsessing about sharpness and work on my shaving technique, but will buy another razor (shave-ready this time) for comparison soon.
