I have recently decided to switch from disposable razors to a straight razor. When I was in Ky there was a barber shop right outside of post that did straight razor shaves. I miss the close, smooth shave I got, and no one in Ohio will do it. I shave myself bald and have a thick facial hair so I am going through disposables pretty quickly and want a more cost effective, and better shave. I have looked online and and looked through other posts for beginners and I am thinking about getting a Dovo 506B 6/8 razor with a shaving kit included. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks to share with me. I am pretty good with sharpening knives and other bladed istruments, so hopefully that will help.
