Thread: Beginner Straight Razor

What is a good beginner straight razor?

a plain ol dovo best quality. you get good bang for ur buck and it's a great razor.

Thanks any model?

I think they come in either 5/8 or 6/8 and you can probably get them for around 100 dollars, prehoned and ready to go! in my opinion go with the bigger one.

here I looked it up for you 85 dollars at straight razor designs and theyre the best. their customer service is unbeatable and their shipping is extremely quick

Thank you very much for the information.

you are very welcome sir.

I am also just starting with a straight razor. A dovo is what I am using. I find the 6/8 size is nice, not too big or too small. A round point gives me more confidence. The most important thing is that the razor is honed properly and correctly sharp. There are so many variables in learning to shave with a straight razor, I think it is most important, to at least have a properly sharp razor. I sent mine off to be professionally honed.
