Thread: Hello from Ar

Hey everyone, just wanted drop in and introduce myself. I'm new to the straight razor shaving world. I don't actually have a razor yet (my gf is getting me a Dovo for Christmas. I did some research before telling her what to look for.) but I'm looking forward to learning and enjoying this old art!

Welcom to SRP!

Hi and welcome. Make sure to get a strop, soap and brush aswell. Watch the kids and hopefully you'll have a reasonable idea when you get started.

Thanks! I have a strop on the way and I recently got some cream from TAOS and a brush that I'm learning to work a lather. No kids at home to worry about and I'm really getting excited about learning to SR shave. But I'll have to wait until after Christmas before I get to get try it bc the razor is going to be a Christmas gift. I'll be doing a lot of reading and watching videos until then. Thanks again!

I sent her a link to one from SRD to get me because after research from this website I decided that was the way to go. It's not that I've got my heart set on a Dovo as much as it's a good brand that has a reliable quality that isn't too expensive to get into this new adventure with!

I'll do plenty of reading before asking questions. I appreciate all the offers of help and info so far!

I received my first razor at Christmas. It was also a Dovo Bizmark. Enjoy!

Was meant to say vids but having issues accessing site from my phone. I did edit it but as I said not working properly.

Lol I was kinda wondering where the kids comment came from!
