Welcome . . . you have entered the slippery slope of wet shaving, so make sure your lather and your razor are both up to the task.

I have found that great information like that from Roughkype are normal on this forum. Come back often and read lots, your learning curve will improve, and you might even get a tip or two on how to appease your bride when you buy that new, just have to have it, razor.

Can't stress enough Roughkype's advise:
"The least-expensive new razor I would trust is a Dovo Best, and I'd trust that completely. You'll get more bang for the buck from vintage blades, and may be able to score a nice shave-ready one in our Classifieds. Much safer shopping there than Ebay."

Happy shaves, U.J.
