Welcome to Straight Razor Place, Chad.
First off Welcome. You'll find a lot good folks here. Lots of knowledge and folks willing to share. Now about that not getting new razors. A lot of us have said that. Don't know what you have but there's a lot of different shapes and sizes and scales out there and it's neat to try as many as you can. Have lots of fun with this new adventure.
Let the enabling begin[emoji1]
Welcome!
Welcome to SRP!
It sounds like you have been doing your research before your purchase. I'm glad to hear that.
Feel free to ask us any questions that you may have.
Yes I like to research before diving into something especially when $ is involved. Chose the dovo because it's resonably priced and have read many reviews that you can't go wrong with them. Did my secondshave this morning. I think the straight razor is changing my view on shaving. My face feels really smooth and I have no irritation. I nicked myself a few times but about the same as a cartridge shaver. All in all so happy with my experience. Wish I started earlier in life.
G'Day and welcome to the best wet shaving resource on the net
Welcome to the forum and the best of the Interweb thingy...a great group.
It does turn a chore in to a great hobby...
But unless you can hold yourself to the elusive "Two Razor Bob" class it won't save much money...
It is worth it...IMHO
Smooth Shaving...
Sounds like you are off to a great start! Welcome, and as you have questions, please ask them. There is a lot of experience and knowledge in this group.
Yes that is one of my weaknesses. I'm kind of a colector. Lol. Will probably buy another straight for backup but plan on getting 3 good straights to pass on to my 3 sons. My oldest who is 10 seen me unbox my kit and asked if he can have my sr when he is older. Lol. But I don't think my dovo best is heirloom quality with the plastic scales...but my uncle works with wood and I was thinking of asking him to make me some koa scales.
I'm sorry to be patronizing but I want to say it anyway...
Be extremely careful about both teaching your kids not to touch your razors, because of the danger, AND making sure that they are not able to touch them by keeping them locked up or inaccessible in some other way.
Given your location, I'd be happy to come by any time for an honing lesson. That is, as long as you have a spare bedroom and my wife can come! :w
Yes only my 10 year old has seen it and I am very careful about things like this. Would never ever leave something like this around. He knows better. I do a lot of other things that they know not to touch like shooting compound bows, diving have spearguns and three prong spears and have knives and other things. I have been also raised around firearms as my dad hunts and collects.
I truly understand where you are coming from. No offense taken.I am kind of overprotective with my children and keep anything either dangerous or exspenive out of little hands reach.
Welcome! I too began the shaving journey with a Dovo, and now my current racks of 53 razors are taking up two shelves in my room...
