Hello all-

I'm finally taking the time to introduce myself. I'm Ed from the south suburbs of Chicago. I'm 32, married with one little one running around. I'm a firefighter/paramedic and totally new to this whole concept. I've heard that straight razor shaving was excellent for the skin which is just what I've been looking for. For years I've used mach 3 this turbo that and have never been fully satisfied with the results. Until one day I happened to find an AoS store at the mall and stopped in. I've been using there sandalwood set for the past month or two and think it's great, all while using my old razor. Finally though after at least 3 months of research I took the plunge and purchased my first razor. I went with a Dovo, best quality 6/8. I have yet to have the time to try and shave with it but I've only had it a few days. I plan on trying it tomorrow and I will post my trials.
