I've perused the forum a few times over the past year, but never bought a razor. However, I received a very sweet looking Dovo as a gift today. I'm thrilled. Also got a boar bristle brush and some soap. Like any daily activity that turns into a hobby that turns into an obsession for so many, I'm sure there is more information available on here than I will ever need to soak up, but I'm glad to have access to it.

I'll begin with stickies and tutorials. I'm looking forward to finally getting a smooth shave.

I know I need to get a strop. Or multiple? Maybe oil? Good soap. Definitely a good way to store it all. Ultimately, I need to read before I get ahead of myself. If anyone can point me to the best basic threads that would be great. If not, I can dig and find them on my own. Either way, glad to be here and be part of the community!
