Hello from Western Canada!
Hey Gang, glad I found this site! I went for my first 'Hot Shave' at the new barber in town and immediately had to buy a razor. It ended up being a DOVO Shavette - at that time I had no idea there was a difference between a straight razor and a shavette. Steep learning curve. After bleeding lots on my first shave, I have now gotten to a point where no blood is shed. I just ordered my first actual straight razor and can't wait to get it and give it a try. Until then, off to read some posts...

Yah I probably should have knocked on wood about shedding blood
But at least it's all in fun!

Hello from further west!
Welcome to SRP jtopher. I'm quite new as well, I've been shaving with a SR for just almost 2 months now, also started with a Shavette and now moved to a full straight razor just this past weesk.
I have two different blades that I alternate daily, a Dovo and a Theirs-Issard... and I'm absolutely in love with this type of shaving.
I used to hate shaving, I used the mach 3 cartridges and shaved once every two weeks or so, after starting with the straight I actually look forward to shaving every day.
Cheers from Rainy Vancity!!

Great that you have a razor enroute but we need to get you set up.
You will need a brush, soap and a strop to get started.S.L.A.M.,.......SHAVE LIKE A MAN!!!
