Hello everyone! I've been interested in the art of straight razor shaving for some time; I've just never gotten up the courage to go for it. I've been doing a bunch of research lately, and think I'm really ready to do this. I'm not sure where to start really. I've seen it recommended that a beginner like myself should use a 5/8 DOVO with a half- to full-hollow. I'd really like to get started, but don't want to drop a bunch of money at the outset if possible.
