Quite a few members maintain a goatee, Van Dyke and fuller beards. I maintain a Van Dyke. Some shavers prefer a 5/8 or 6/8 razor for this purpose. Others prefer a 4/8 and a few, a 3/8. In actuality, a decent DE razor can do the job just as easily with less of an outlay and upkeep. A decent DE can range from $30 to $80 and a 100 package of blades for about $15. That is after trying sampler packs to see what blade works for you. There is a section on the forum for DE and SE shavers, exploring all the aspects of that area.
There are two SRP members in Minnesota that are available for help.

Although I will never understand people who use straights to maintain facial hair, they are definitely here! For me, once I realized how good the shave is, NO hair is safe!!

Ok... so I do "understand" it - for others. But I couldn't do it. I had a goatee for years - but now I can't even go 24 hours without being clean shaven. And even when I shaved with disposables while in the military I would often go a day or two without shaving over the weekends or on leave. No more. All stubble is gone by 4PM daily, and I love it! I rub my face all day and it's like it's mocking me/challenging me. I look forward to cutting it all off every day.

Is really the only place to buy a nice SR online?

I started with SRD, because it's truly shave ready. With that said, SRD is a little more expensive because it's new razors - I've also bought a few razors through @cudarunner who hones them before sending, and they've been great. There's others on here and other sites that also do shave ready. Most important for a beginner is REALLY having shave ready because (like when I started) you really don't know what "good" is until you've tried "good". So either SRD or somebody on here who can help you find a good one and send it to you honed.
In my opinion, I've been happier and get better shaves from the Friodurs that Cuda found me than the Austs I bought from SRD. The SRD razors are great - don't get me wrong - but if you get a "better" razor that is honed well, you might be happier.Last edited by MajorEthanolic; 11-22-2014 at 06:55 PM.
