So... after receiving some advice, help, opinions from a few of members of SRP, I decided to take the plunge and buy my first straight razor. Ordered a Dovo Best quality Black 6/8 and 3" Black Latigo leather strop. I ordered my gear on Friday and to my surprise it was on my doorstep this afternoon. WOW!! What great service from Straight razor Designs. Thumbs up!!
unfortunately this morning I shaved with my trusty safety razor and now I wished I hadn't!! Figured the Razor and Strop would be at least a week to get here..
If anyone can direct me to some good beginner posts from the archives that I may want to look at (Before my first shave) it would be greatly appreciated. I will say that the razor is SCARY SHARP and makes me a bit nervous!
Thanks
Jeff
