Thread: Is a straight razor for me??

i Didnt like this model i have it in all metal instead of plastic handle, cause you have to wedge your nailes in between the metal sheet that holds the razor blade, but if you do buy it be very carefull cause half razorblades and if your wet on your hands while setting in or taking out the blade you can cut youself easy, better you buy Dovo Shavette if your starting with these razors. I have that shaving mug/bowl from muhle and its ok, shaving stand in acrylic is the same world wide, havent tested the brush or soap so cant say anything about that. ever thought about DE razors? less equipment you have to buy in, but if your commited you can use you next winnings as a millionare on straight razors if the bug bites you, i gott biten and have almost used all my food stamps on straight razor products DE Razors and straight razors are very good on necks. i have both of the shavettes i wrote and i cant use the parker, but Dovo`s can be used, just a little easy to cut yourself if your in a hurry or aint carefull with the tips/ends on the razorblade, its usaly not the middle of the razor blade that cuts you its the tips/ends of the blade if you dont lift it at the same time, that means dont set it down with tip or heal first it has to be straight on the face all at the same time. you can test it by shaving with soap and without blade first to see if you lay the blade flat on your neck, then up the stakes after seeing that you dont prick yourself to death with the blade you would also need to buy razor blades that you can break in 2 or buy pre-broken blades, and also a styptic pencil. and also if you buy dovo they have 3 collors on the plastic that means RED- normal blades used in DE Razors but brocken in half, the BLACK- plastic is for long blades made by dovo, and the GREEN- i dont know but would think it is for brands similar to feather blades they sell to those expensive Feather Shavette`s. Hope it help even if i write like a gnome
