Found a Razor, want a kit, need opinions!
Hey guys! Let me introduce myself. My name's Mel and I'm 20. I'm a complete beginner to the world of straight razor shaving. My facial growth is underdeveloped, I can grow sideburns and a little chin but other than that it doesn't come in enough. The hairs aren't super thick or hard just yet so I figure i'll learn to straight shave before it all comes in.
Now for my question: I found a 6/8 James Whitcomb & Co Extra Hollow Ground at my house. I have read that beginners shouldn't start on full ground as they are sharp as a mother. But, I also don't want to buy a nice razor and ruin it because I have no idea what I'm doing. Would you guys also recommend against sending this razor out to be honed, getting used to shaving, stropping, and maintenance then getting a kit like a Dovo Straight? I would really like to use the Jacobs as I wouldn't have to buy another razor before getting my first real one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Mel
