Thread: New Guy

Hi everybody my name is Jeff the newbie. So new don't even have my razor yet! Looking at getting the Dovo "Bismark" it seems to be the razor people suggest for a beginner if anybody has any suggestion im all ears. I am married have three kids. Im a firefighter full time and own a Lawn Service for my part time. I always want to learn this art but just never explored it. Like I said any suggestions or tips i would be glad to receive.

Welcome to SRP!
you will find plenty of fellow members in Virginia.
the dovo Bismark is a very nice razor. just make sure you get your form a vendor who understands that "shave ready" does not mean factory edge. there are lots of great vendors to be found on this site. you will also need a strop and a brush and shave soap.
your best bet is a complete starter's kit... they usually are discounted a bit.

watch the videos, read the beginners topics and ask lots of questions.

enjoy,
jim

Hi Jeff, and welcome to SRP! We're glad to have you here.
+1 on sylight's comments. The best piece of wisdom I can give you for now is to be patient with yourself. Everybody here likes helping rookies, so there are no inappropriate shave-related questions. See ya in the trenches, buddy!

if i recall the dovo bismark is a great looking razor (i like it very much), but wont shave any better then a cheaper dovo "best quality" the dovo bq can be had for about 80$ + shipping.. and at some places if you buy a strop at the same time your purchase price may be enough to get free shipping.. just a thought.. if you want the bismark and can afford it by all means, get it.
