well, there's an awful lot of info on this site and all of its really helpful. but i can't find an area that gives basic, straightforward info on a good "configuration". now, i have a basic understanding of the term, but i don't know what would be appropriate for a first time newbie (i've checked the newbie's corner).
so here it it is...what will be a good started razor? should i got with the round end or one of the others? full ground? whats extra full ground? is a certain length suitable for beginners? 3 inches? more?
like all my hobbies, i never end up buying just one unit. (2 guitars, 2 bikes, 8 sharpening stones, dozen juggling balls, etc). so a blade suitable for beginners is good and then i can get the feel of it and get a better one later. but whats good for right now?
