Hello SRP community!
After not being able to shave more than once every three days due to razor burn, I came across wet shaving while on the internet a few months ago. I started out with a cheap $9 kit from Walmart and a DE Merkur razor and was thoroughly impressed. I could now shave every day without tearing up my face, and was able to get a much closer shave. I then upgraded to a badger brush and pre-shave oil, and purchased a disposable blade Parker straight razor. After a couple months with the Parker and Merkur, I decided to finally go all in and get a Dovo and strop. Although I have already cut the strop a few times (the trials and tribulations of learning a new skill), this has upgraded my experience even more.
I'm excited to be part of this community and continue learning the art of straight razor shaving!
