Hello everyone,
After my last haircut I realized I really liked how clean a shave I got when they did the back of my neck and sideburns with a striaght razor so I thought I`d give it a try myself.
Im from Montreal and am anxiously awaiting my first straight razor. I started of off looking for a razor on Amazon and quickly got confused by the plethora of offerings and mixed reviews. Much more googling was done and I found this site. After readinga lot on here over the last couple of weeks I bought a Dovo Best Quality 5/8 Full Hollow Blade. Hopefully I wont scalp myself. The begginer guide has been quite useful and I can only hope the article on the first striaght razor shave will keep me from doing to bad a job. I like how it is written and it`s suggestion that I not try and do my whole face at once, baby steps seems the sensible approach to me. Honestly I probably would have slit my throat if I hadnt found this forum.
I expect to recieve the razor next week and will gladly post my impressions. I do have a couple of questions I havent seen answered here yet but as they arent pressing and as I have mostly spent time reading the begginers stuff I will wait until I peruse more of the forum to avoid repeating already answered questions.
