Thanked: 0New to SRP and Looking for that closer shave!
I'm Mike (46 years old) from Birmingham, Alabama and new to straight razor shaving. I love it when I go to the barbershop and they shave my neck with a straight razor after my hair cut. This seems to be a thing of the past as everyone wants to use clippers and on to the next person. Someone mentioned to me that shaving with a straight razor is much better for you than a multi blade razor so here I am looking for a mentor and ready to learn. I have done my research and purchased two Dovo straight razor and a strop. I already have a badger brush, alum block and several different shaving soaps. I have been using the Art of Shaving products for quite some time now but I am looking to up my game.
Looking for help.
Thanks,
Mike

Don't be afraid to ask any questions you have.

welcome aboard!! sounds like all you need is to get started. Just watch plenty of stropping and shaving vids on you-tube. Just take baby steps and in 3 months your shaves will get a little better and they will keep improving with time,Enjoy the ride!!!!!!!!!!!!
