Intro...finally took the plunge
Good evening Everyone,
My name is Josh, I'm 27 and finally took the dive and bought a straight razor. My father has been shaving with a stright razor for as long as i can remember, and i noticed the money he saved, and the close shaves he always prides himself on. I decided i was through wasting almost 15 dollars every other month on disposable heads for a Mach 3 razor that dont give the shave i can appreciate. So, after thinking about it, and talking to friend and family i went out and bought my own straight razor. Now... dont beat me up on this, i purchase a disposable head straight razor made by a company named Persona. Definitely not what i had in mind, but as it was a gift from my wife, i managed with it. the new razor i'm looking at is a Kriegar folding straight razor, i dont have too much on the specs of it. So if anyone has any info as a good, budget friendly idea plaes let me know. I had a good first shave. Attempted a second shave this morning... razor burn from hell. I think the lather wasnt as thick as i needed it. Any tips help. Look forward to talking with you all.
