Hey All,

So I found this place thanks to my cousin (McJacob71990) and I have really enjoyed reading through the threads. Anyways, I am currently using a safety razor that i found at an antique store (Gillette Red Tip), but I think I'm ready to become a real man and move up to the straight razor. I'm pretty sure I'll go with a Dovo best quality 6/8, but wondering if you all have any suggestions.

On Jan. 1st I stopped shaving 1) because i hate shaving and 2) wanted to grow a beard. Well, once i decided to shave it off I decided to enjoy shaving instead of dreading it. Well, I definitely enjoy wet shaving, i don't know why anyone shaves with an electric, but i digress.

So if any of you have any tips and tricks for a youngster like me I would really appreciate it!

Erik.
