Thread: Hey everyone!! New to srp!

Oh! And do I need strop paste? Barber supply said I wouldn't need any for the strop I got..

Also if you don't want used razor, but want something special - try to find NOS (New Old Stock) razor

Went to classifieds. The first razor on there by manah seems nice. Any thoughts? Not sure if I went to right place, by I clicked on straight razors. Says its shave ready. Maybe someone knows a little more about it, if it fits my experience level etc.

I know anybody except Manach who can know more about this razor, try to ask him. As for me it's good razor. You can also check his site for more razors
STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Home page
If Manach mark it as shave ready - be sure it will be really shave ready

Sorry! I didn't see your response! Ima check those links out for sure. Using my iPhone to do all this and it's proving to be a pain. Thanks for the info, ima jump on computer shortly and start reading. I don't mind spending a little it if I know ima get something good I know one thing, straight razor shaves give the smoothest shaves, I was hooked after I had a barber shave me once, my first wasn't that good tho. Left some hairs here and there, and I didn't want to overshave.

Checked out that link, the fine gentlemens one, straight razor designs. I really like the dovo Bismarck. I hear to start off with a 6/8, so that's what I looked for. Seems really nice, and they come shave ready. What you experienced gents think?

It's good razor, also I think (just IMHO) that steel on all modern razor such as Dovo and Thier almost identical, all the difference in handle and in engrave, so after right honing all this razors will give great shaves and all else up to you, how much you can spend and wich prettier to you.
6/8 good size, but you can also look at 5/8, at the beginning you will not fell the difference

I love my 4/8 F.A. Clauberg Tonsorial Gem. It was my first razor and is #1 in my rotation.

really? you like it that much? thats good news then maybe i have a good one. i just really liked the way the bismark looked :P would it be considered an entry level razor? i wouldnt mind spending the money to have a good razor, especially just getting into it, having a nice sharp razor that doesnt require a lot of skill to keep sharp would be nice. i know theres all different kinds of metals each with its own characteristics. Here is some pics of mine i got. you prolly have the same thing. maybe?
