It's true. But I have at least one razor and one strop on the way for sure. I will be sure to keep everyone posted as things work themselves out. I'm an experienced DE shaver, so hopefully I won't cut my head off. But at least I'm used to a few cuts if I do try.
Welcome to the forums.
You will be fine with the straight, just remember,
beard prep,
little pressure
stretch the skin.
What razor did you buy?
It's about time you popped your head in over here :D
Haha, I do believe I have put it off long enough. I actually (think) I am getting a 5/8 wedge (correct me if I'm wrong here) from Lee. And I should have a 5/8 Jim Slick restored by Ambrose of B&B coming sometime soon. And I think also an 11/16 Red Point straight razor from Olafurson at TSD. I think.
Welcome and good luck with the straights!!!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do...
