My grandfather used to use SR and I loved to go in and watch the whole process as a kid. I couldn't wait to learn to shave! He would get the brush out lather it up and we would shave. Well he would and he'd use the other side to shave me lol. Unfortunately he passed away before I was old enough to learn from him. He was and will always be a master in my eyes.
Fastforward 30 some odd years I'm forty now and decided it was time for me to honor my grandfather and learn to shave like a real man. I'm so glad I found this site before my razor came in. I'm a let's get this done type of guy. I'm glad Lynn has made me want to slow down a little bit.
I bought a Dovo on Amazon it looks like a beautiful razor 5/8 so I didn't go big, as I would normally do. I bought everything that I've read I need. My strop won't be in till next Friday, not sure if I should try out my SR before I get it. I also got a honing kit a Norton. Should I buy a cheap razor to learn to hone on?
Anyways I'm from SoCal hoping to not donate to much blood advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
MikeTig
