    Default Getting Anxious...First Straight Buying Decisions...

    With so much excellent information I am starting to feel the information overload. But, I have narrowed my choices down to about 30 different options...

    My money is burning a hole in my pocket, and I want to click the "purchase" button today! Who wants to throw out some last minute advice/classified/free offer?

    Think wisely about the grind and size. Eventually you'll expand your razor collection but it's always best to start right off the bat with a good combo.

    And what, good Sir, would that "good combo" be?

    What's your beard type? Coarse, wired, normal,... You shave every day, every second or third day? sensitive skin?,....

    So. Much. Information...

    My beard is pretty normal, but it does get a little squirly around my the bottom of my neck. And I have some renegade patches that seem to grow 3 times as fast as everything else.

    I usually shave every other day unless my wife orders me to shave more.

    My skin is not too sensitive with my Mach3 as long as I don't make more than two passes. Any more than that and I look pretty red and bloody.

    I have been shaved with a straight before a few times with awesome results (he even shaved most of my head with it - when I went bald.) Don't know if that helps.

    Throwing in my $.02 for what it's worth, I'd suggest a nice restored razor from either the Classifieds here on SRP or over at WhippedDog. I got a Rodgers 5/8 square tip on SRP for $50 about a month and a half ago and just ordered a Eyre 4/8 round tip from WhippedDog for $26. They are both shave ready. This way, you can make sure SR shaving is your thing before you spend a boatload of $$$. Besides that, it leaves you with more cash to spend on stuff like strops, cream, aftershave, etc, etc

    It's a nice'n!

    i just got my first spike/square point myself. it's really quite useful for nose/detailing a beard! and 6/8 is nice and stable.

    definitely a fine look'n razor there.
