Alright friends, I just purchased my new Dove 6/8 Best Quality straight and a 3" Latigo Strop from SRD. I'll be giving my first straight shave a shot as soon as it arrives. I'll let you all know how it goes. Up til now I've been shaving with a DE getting good results. Now it's time to jump in with both feet. Make no mistake, I will be heeding to all your advice. Thanks for all!
Congrats on the great gear!! Make sure to take it slow, watch your angle and ASK ASK ASK ANY questions you have!!!
+1 to the above!
Bravo Mike. 'Good gear. You already know how to make lather, so that's not an issue. Read up on stropping.

Welcome to the world of SR shaving!!
I've got a Dovo BQ 5/8 myself. Its my first straight, and no complaints at all. Best of luck to you, and make use of the wealth of knowledge that this site holds!
Huzzah! An excellent acquisition. Good luck with your first shave!
Very cool--I've got a 5/8's Dovo Best and a 3" latigo from SRD and both have served me well. Take it easy and enjoy. GL too.
