AmsterDan - New to Straight Razor Shave
Hi there,
AmsterDan here. I have been wet shaving for close to a decade now. It all started with an income that forced me to be frugal. As anyone would in such a position, one starts looking at necessary expenses and maximize savings. Quickly found out that quite a high price was (and still is) paid for disposable cartridges that are also wasteful. With this ordeal at hand, a question arose: "How did our forefathers shave a century ago?". Needless to say, the world of wet shaving, once thought to be 'old school', was not so old school after all! The idea grew on me fast and decided on a safety razor kit purchase; what if I told you that I am still shaving with this kit today?!
However, Christmas is nearby and Santa (revealed) has been generous this year by gifting me a Dovo Special (faux tortoise scales) 5/8" straight razor. I am stoked! I am new to straight razor shaving and hope to gain some knowledge within the SRP community. Once I do up some experience, I will contribute. Looking forward to it!
For now, get lazy, stuff your cake holes good and drink a few extra. Wishing everyone here a prosperous new year.
