Thread: Taking the SR Plunge

I can't recommend the ruprazors filly strop enough. It is of good enough quality that it will definitely get the job done, but it is cheap enough that you won't want to cry if you cut it to bits while learning.

I also have a goatee and shaved with a DE for a year before switching to a straight last month. I enjoy it so much that I have sold off most of my DE stuff and I had just purchased a new 100 pack of Shark blades.

Anyway, I actually find it much easier to trim around the goatee region with a straight. I only wear the part on the chin, and I find that the heel of a straight razor can be moved in an arc around the side of the hair that gets that region smoother than my DE ever did.
