Thread: New member who needs halp!

Dear Straight Razor Community,

I'm new to the fancy shaving world. I've been lurking around this site for a while because about 3 months ago I purchased my first straight razor and dove headfirst into things. I purchased at a local shop a Dovo #515 5/8" razor. While I've improved a great deal, I just don't have the time or patience right now to maintain a straight razor (just had my first child two weeks ago!)

I would like to switch to using a nice safety razor, and I hope I can get some advice here.

Anyways, I'm a PhD student in Hebrew Literature, I live in Boston, and I look forward to learning all that this forum has to offer.

Cheers!
