Thread: Another Noob

Hi everyone, I am new here and thought I would make my first post. I started straight shaving about a month ago and am having a blast with it. Before that I used a DS razor for about a year.

So far, I have a Dovo stainless, a Puma and a Thiers Issard razor. They are all great shavers, but the Dovo is my current fav. These are all full hollow grinds, I think I would like to find a 1/4 grind or a wedge to try at some point.

Anyway, lots of information here to read.

hey Brother and welcome what part of NC are you from?

Raleigh area, Apex actually. Love it here, the mountains are my favorite place to go when I get some time.

We have a gathering in Asheville every year you should attend next year! Anyway great to have another Carolina member!

Welcome to the forums,,, always room here for more.

Welcome!, sounds like you have some really nice razors to start out with. Good luck on your journey to shaving nirvana

Its really amazing how we are all scared of the straight until we actually pick it up and learn to use it and turn it into a thing of beauty. Myself I am nine shaves in and have not developed enough prowess with the blade to shave with a striaght during the week, but I am practicing with my dovo on the week-ends.

Welcome. This is the place for straight shavers. Gald to have you here.

It took me a while to get a good edge on my blade but once I got it, my DE got put away fast. I am using straights daily now, makes for a fun way to start the day
