Thread: Think i have a problem like many others here....# I hope

Well I started out with the curiosity of straight razors about 4 months ago maybe even less...... not wanting to dive straight in I thought "hey you hate shaving why bother" but the curiosity got the better of me so I started down the path of a Shavette ( cheap nasty one bought on line ). Yet i started to grow fondness over the time it takes to prep the face etc. obviously started with a few nicks/ cuts but got the hang of it quickly.

So it then said to myself what the hell - buy a descend one ( Shavette ) and seeing as you like it ~note in the back of my mind the end goal is to have traditional straight~
Bought a feather artist club SS shortly after and loved it.... Super sharp albeit a little unforgiving.

about a month after that I got the sudden urge to have a safety razor - week later I got two... surprised how easy was to them..

Then last week just browsing the for sale adds and i come across a nice deal for 2 Dovo straights - Ivory Dovo basic and the Ebony Astrale both in excellent condition. these came complete with a rich man strop from Whipdog not even used.

Sorry for the longish post just thought id share what seems to be an obsession
