Hey all!
I am just starting to get into straight edge razors and constantly seeking advice and info. Upon my searches I found this resource and by far it has been the best! So thanks to all of you who have taken the time to post your knowledge and already answered some of my looming questions
I started shaving with a straight edge about 3 months ago using a basic Dovo 5/8 razor and am now looking to purchase my second razor with a strop. I found some interesting pairings on the SRD website but am lost as far as picking the right second razor and what strop to go along with it (the strop is less of an issue). I have no idea what I am looking for with all of the choices out there, so any recommendations would be appreciated. I know that I am looking to spend less than $200 for the pair and I would like an upgrade from the razor I have now.
Also, for anyone who lives in the Twin Cities area, are there any recommendations for a place to get my first razor honed? I never had it pre-honed and have read that I should have had that done. Looking online I can find a few places that do knives but I would like to make sure the place I go is good with razors.
Thanks in advance!
