My first experience with a straight razor was back in 2007 in the Philippians, when I went to a barber shop there and got there "deluxe" hair cut and shave package. They did the whole 9 with the hot towel, soap, and after shave. I was so impressed by the whole thing that I soon started to get depressed when I would look at my razor in the mornings. From then on I would have to try and seek out a barber shop where ever I was to get a straight razor shave. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do for myself, but with being a Sgt in the Marine Corps I really have little to no time for such things, up until recently. Been out here in Afghanistan since August and saying that am rather bored is an understatement. So I’ve decided that since am here I might make some use of my time and learn a skill. I have already bought a complete shave kit with a Dovo Best Quality straight razor and am pretty excited to start the whole learning process.
