Well this is my first post.
I'll be honest I've been lurking on the Straight Razor place for a few weeks reading various posts and I finally decided I'd post something. I've always been interested in shaving with a straight razors.
When I first started shaving I found it very frustrating that those darn disposable razor cartridges always got jammed full of hairs after a few shaves. I thought to heck with this I want to shave properly. Well I've made it part of the way. I've been shaving with a Double Edged Merkur Razor for a bit under a year and just few months ago I started making my own lather. I think maybe I'd like to move up and buy my first straight razor. From what I've gathered on this site many people seem to recommend a pre-sharpened 5/8 Dovo razor. Does anyone else have any other suggestions? I guess i'm just looking for some help and given how everyone else in my family uses electric shavers I firgured someone on here could give me a hand.
Thanks,
Carter
