I have always hated shaving, but have always been interested in the straight razor. I have only used a mach 3 and an electric. So today i took a step towards learning how to make shaving something that I don't dread doing. I decided to buy a straight razor. Here's what I bought.

MOST IMPOTANT
Lynn's dvd on shaving

DOVO Extra Hollow Ground "Singing" Razor, 5/8
honed by Lynn

Dovo extra wide two sided leather/linen strop

Soap, Mug, And Brush

I am really looking forward to learning the art! And to making my girlfriend happy with a nice smooth face apposed to the bearded mess i have now!
Been reading a lot on here and this is definitely the place to be.
