First straight razor
Okay so, I've been shopping around on SRD for a straight razor wet shaving kit.
Now there's a couple of blades that have really appealed to me;
-Dovo astrale ebony, carbon steel half hollow
-Dovo ebony silver steel, full hollow
-Dovo Prima Klan, carbon steel extra hollow
All blades are 5/8.
What would you reccomend for a first timer? I'm leaning towards the extra hollow Prima but I'm a bit concerned how difficult it will be to use, being an extra hollow. Also I like the Dovo ebony stainless steel, but I'm more inclined towards a carbon blade from what I have read. I think I want a full hollow over half hollow, as I'm sure I'll be wanting to upgrade to full hollow in the future anyway.
Any reccomendations?
