Thread: Please help a noob pick out everything he needs

Remember that you first couple shaves will most likely be lackluster. Years of using a cartridge will make using a str8t razors movements seem foreign. Give yourself at least a month before expecting a good shave and expect most your shave to take around 30 minutes to complete till you get over the initial fear and become more comftorable with the blade.

Yeah, I'll take my time. The first week I'll probably just get my sideburns and side of my face like the guide says.

How should I sterilize my blade? I mean, if I'm going to potentially draw blood with it, I want to make sure it's clean, so that I do not get infected from the blade.

And why do they call it Wet Shaving? Isn't the other way wet as well?
