Hey all,
It's great to be part of such an amazing group of shavers. This is my first post, but I feel like through reading, the wiki, and Lynn's DVD I've already taken a lot from your collective knowledge. I bought my first straight razor (Dovo Best Quality 5/8) just within the past week and have shaved with it 5 times now. In those 5 times, thanks to all the written instruction, I've only nicked myself a few times, and have had some of the most satisfying shaves I can imagine. It's no longer a chore, but a ritual. I'm only just beginning, but with this razor, some Truefitt & Hill, and Proraso, it's been a real joy so far.
The only place I can imagine going from here, is up. So help me on. I've got the basics down, now I'd welcome your general advice, and any recommendations/tricks you've found to make this more enjoyable, including your favorite soaps/creams/scents, aftershave products, etc.
Thanks again,
