Thread: Help narrowing down the short list for first straight razor purchase

Ritchy,
It would not be fare or proper to value one member's razor in the classified section, over another member's razor.

I can tell you, that I looked at the razors in the classified section, at least 4 times today & did not see one that was not a good shaver. They will all do fine.

You will do just fine with any that you posted in the original post. Nice new razors that come shave ready...exactly what you're looking for to get you started on your journey and eliminate any doubts of if its sharp enough. And then, you can go on from there.

I thought about getting the Dovo Astrale at first myself but then I changed my mind and got the Dovo Natural instead.

I am bought my first razor just yesterday actually so I am not a good person to ask about what blades are better then others, so I just let someone else do the work for me! I ordered mine from whipped dog. I will probably get it next week, but from what I have heard he is a great guy to get your first straight from.

Ritchy, In my opinion everything you've listed is good quality stuff. Any of those selections will turn out to be a great razor. If your unsure about anything, my only advice is to type it in the google custom search at the top there and read, read, read. This site is piled high with information. Hope this helps.
