Thread: Hello from NY

Welcome and enjoy the adventure to a spa treatment for your face.

Welcome, you have a Battalion of shavers here to help you get through the learning curve, take advantage of the collective knowledge, it also makes us feel a bit smarter .

Heavens knows I can use some smartness!
wait you said FEEL smater

Hi and welcome aboard. Good idea to check for local help as well. Cuts the learning curve and can likely help with most issues that arise. My vote is for the straight. Another strop option is a decent one with replacement pieces like srd. Quality to last but replaceable if needed.

Yeah I'm gonna go with a straight. I've been lurking around to see if anyone is within a reasonable distance from me but no luck yet. It'd be nice if I could hold one justnto see if I even like the feel of it. I'm a very tactile person so if something "feels" strange to me I won't use it. That's one of the reasons the shavette isn't looking like a great option. People say they feel different, and how they describe it sounds hollow or light.... the replaceable strop seems like a great idea. I have one but I've beat it a bit with my kitchen cutlery. Granted it's 15 years old.

Well list your location and they will find you, NY is not exactly a location, it's just a state. Tc
