Thread: One more starter

Hi

Here's one more starter from holland. Today I shaved with a straigt razor for the first time (I didn't do the part around my mouth). One little cut under my chin, but it was not too bad. And a totally new experiance, which I really enjoyed. I bought a Dovo Bismarck 6/8. For now, I really like it, although I don't have much to compare it with.

Welcome Metsie, and congratulations on your first straight shave!!

Nice blade!

Welcome to SRP, Metsie! May you have many happy shaves in the future.

welcome metsie! glad to hear you enjoyed the first experience, I was very tense my first go around, only did the cheeks and upper lip area, too nervous to do the neck! second shave I went all in and my chin was wishing I hadn't, haha. I like your taste in blade, ive owned/still own hundreds and hundreds of different blades and the 6/8 dovo Bismarck is still my favorite. just used it my second to last shave ago. a lot of other german blades feel nice, and some very similar. my recommendation for a second razor would be a torrey, ive owned more torreys than probably any other razor and have enjoyed every one. take care, enjoy the shaves!

Thank you all. Feeling how much I enjoyed my last shave, and how it went, I'm sure there will still be many straight razor shaves to come.

@silverloaf. I sure was nervous, especially with the neck. At some places I didn't even know how to hold my razor, and I couldn't see where I wanted to shave. But my first shave (until now I only used gilette fusion) went really good.
Thanks for the recommendation for my second / next razor. For now one is enough, but I'm afraid I already have a new addiction now. At least it's a lot healthier than smoking (most of the time) .
