Thanked: 2Older but Newbe to straight razor shaving
Greetings!
I am 62 years old and kept a beard for most of my adult life mainly because I disliked shaving. Usually used a Bic disposable about twice a week to trim up a little.
About a month ago, after much contemplation, I got into shaving with a DE razor and got into it the right way. I purchased a Edwin Jagger DE razor and a sample kit of blades along with Omega shave cream and pre-shave and post-shave products. It turned a hate for shaving into a hobby! Wanting to experiment further I purchased an 20 dollar Shavette type razor and blades. I immediately bought a styptic pencil which I use every time I use the aforementioned razor!
I will likely use the DE as my regular razor but want to become competent with straight razor.
Jim
