So, I am from Ontario Canada, and I love things that go bang, are sharp, or able to send arrows flying really fast down range.

My wife got me an early Christmas gift, a Straight razor set. So I thought that I should poke around here and gain new knowledge and advice.

The set my wife has picked out (from, Classic Edge Shaving, in Toronto) for me consists of:

-Dovo C-mon Straight Razor that does come "shave ready"
-1 1/2''W x 18''L Russian leather strop
-Pure Badger shaving brush with stand
-Shavex Alum Block
-Col Conk Cake soap
-Stainless shaving bowl
-some maintenance supplies for the blade

My wife says that I have to at least shave once with it, to see if I enjoy it, before I order a "cooler" razor. I already have several picked out (some of which cost more then my first car!) .


I now lay myself at the mercy of the pro's I will meet along my journey through this forum.

P.S.~ I will do my best to use the search function and NOT ask anything that would probably come up every week.
