Hi I've recently gone back to shaving after a lengthy break due to continued razor burn from those awful multi bladed razors (5 blades!). I've taken an interest in straight razor shaving and have been shaving myself for about a month prior to joining this forum.
I primarily use my new Dovo 6/8in best quality, high carbon steel, full hollow ground razor, nothing too fancy but a nice blade all the same.
I enjoy my shaving and have success most of the time. I'm gradually progressing with my shaving and stropping with help from this forum, books and videos from other SRP members.
I enjoy trying out different methods and shaving products as I have a few different soaps & aftershaves, a couple of shavettes and a Merkur 1904 style replica Gilette DE safety razor (for quick shaves). I intend on buying more products plus I've got my eye on a couple more new straight razors (when money allows).
This site has proved very useful over the last few months and hopefully will continue to do so.
Also I would love to get hold of Lynn Abrams shaving DVD (even as a video download or something) as it's proving difficult to get over here in the UK without paying loads for shipping and waiting a month for it to arrive. Any help on getting hold of it (even as a loan) would be greatly appreciated.
