Thanked: 0Prospective straight razor user !
Hi, I am thinking of buying a straight razor and would like to ask if the following set up would work, since I will be new to straight razor shaving.
I would buy a stainless steel shave ready razor such as the Dovo ‘Renaissance’ razor. I would buy a strop all the shaving products and accessories.
My question is : If I shave every 2-3 days with just one razor, stropping before each use, and send it off to be professionally honed every few months (because i have heard that honing stainless hollow ground razors properly at home take a while to be able to do properly) , do you think this will work well, or am I missing something important ?
I know it is ideal to have several razors on rotation, but since I am just starting I would like to start off with one.
Thanks
