Thread: Hello from SF

I am sure you will enjoy it if you have the patience to learn. If you have the lather under control that will make things a bit easier, one less thing to learn. From what I have read a straight razor benefits from a slightly wetter lather than a D/E, we'll either that or D/E's are more accommodating of dryer lather. I do use a D/E from time to time but not enough to be able to comment from personal experience.

I would hold off on any more purchases until you have used the two you have for a while. If the site unseen is a different size and or grind to the PRC razor you will be able to get a bit of an idea of where you want to go. I also think variety leads to confusion early on, learning with one razor will be beneficial in the long run as you aren't trying to work out angles etc on two different razors.
it sounds like you have done a fair bit of reading so you should have seen a few themes with beginners questions, of course we are happy to answer any that you do have though.
