Thread: Greetings and salutations

Howdy all I joined SRP about a year ago and due to time constraints and life have not been able to be active I have been using a safety razor for a few years and have always wanted to get in to the Straight Razor shave any advice on starting out would be helpful. I have read several of the posts for beginner and am looking to buy my first razor so help a noob out.

Thanks
Drev

Greetings to you as well. I would check out the Wiki and read some of the posts in the beginner sections. You'll get all the information you need from those places. Good luck.

Hi Drev and welcome! You didn't say what your budget was for your first razor but a Dovo 6/8 is not terribly expensive and a great place to start (or stay). Make sure that it is professionally honed before you use it, lots of places will include that either free or for a small extra charge. If you're looking to experiment without spending a lot of money, the "sight partially seen" from whippeddog is a way to get a shave ready razor at low cost.

Hope this helps and welcome again!

Thank for the advice guys my budget for now is probably 150 or under i have been checking the wiki and all the other great stuff on the site thanks again.
