    Default New to Straights

    New to straights, been shaving with the DE for awhile. I inherited a couple of straights years ago and decided I wanted to learn to appreciate and enjoy them.

    Welcome. I am sort of thinking you need a different razor. Heirloom razors need to be protected from us when we have just started out. We rand to be a little hard on gear and goon things from time to time. Buy nice and inexpensive second hand shave ready razor to learn on. Send the heirlooms out to be professionally honed and maybe cleaned up, depends on the razors. When you have you basic technique down and are not likely to do anything bad to your Heirloom ices bust them out. Heirloom pieces are awesome, and there is only one way to get them!
