Found this site after a multi-year fascination with straight razors has culminated in my first purchase. I went with the Dovo best blade starter kit from vintage blades.

Part of this has stemmed from getting tired of spending what I would call unreasonable prices for blades and not being able to achieve that baby smooth finish I'm after. However, as a testament to what we will do for our daughters, the main reason I'm hear is to learn how to have a baby smooth shave because my 4 year old doesn't like feeling whiskers on my face.

I went with the 6/8 Dovo Best and will be looking for guidance on soaps and creams.

Thanks very much and looking forward to learning a lot from the members here.
