Thread: Newbie but not to wetshaving

Thank you guys!
If I have everything I'll post again, probably followed up with many question.
Yes the Fatip is aggressive, but if you don't use pressure and with correct angle it doesn't feel really aggressive.
To me a smooth blade in it is important for good glide. I use Astra SP's, but that's very personal.
It is a inexpensive razor and should it not be your thing you can sell it.
Oh man, I'm hardly here and I'm already enabling...

Welcome, ElaMenthol,

You'll enjoy the straight, I'm sure. As you'll read in the wiki and elsewhere, it's best to start with the simple zones and finish up with your DE, and gradually expand your range. I spent about 4 months on this transition. As you'll read in lots of posts, lots of guys aren't that patient and dive in to the whole thing right away. Some regret it, some don't. Your call.

Best wishes and happy shaving.

I went in full bore. But I will admit it was not my plan. The idea of transitioning slowly into straight razor having made it something less intimidating to take up!

Then on that first shave, I just couldn't stop, it was going so well!

Thank, you for all the replies.
I'll study the DVD first and probably next month order a sight unseen deal.
