howdy,
looking to start shaving with a straight razor for many reasons. I am a professional cook with a lot of sharp knives and sharpening equipment and it seems silly to use a gillete fusion-junk razor. most of my kitchen knives are shaving sharp (literally). getting some stropping equipment soon and this would be a good purpose for it. also, it's supposed to be a much better shave. i guess i need some shaving soap too?
also a college student on a budget. as i understand, it may be better to buy a used razor that i know has been honed and is ready to shave?
anyway, looking to get started and also have some interest in vegan friendly options as my girlfriend is a vegan who is very into the lifestyle and is also a cook. i don't know if she can handle a straight razor though.
thanks for any advice/ help.
