Hello from Rochester, New York, USA
I just took the plunge and purchased a Dovo Best Quality Black 5/8".
Since I have a goatee, I will probably avoid many of the difficulties encountered by those who are new to this blood sport.
I am looking forward to the delivery of my new razor and strop.
Knowing that I don't know squat about using a straight razor, it looks as if I have found a good place to start.
Recognition of the vastness of ones own ignorance is the first step on the path to true wisdom.
Another RIT graduate, eh?
Howdy dinnermint!
I graduated from RIT too...
and I used to live in Milwaukee.
I bet what you really miss about Rochester is the weather!
