Thread: DE Shaver for 6 yrs making the plunge

Hi everyone,

I've been a DE shaver for the last 6yrs. Currently have a Gillette slim adjustable and an Edwin Jagger DE89 but I keep wanting to gravitate towards the straight shave as I kind of want to get cleaner shaves. I've read that with my condition, curly thick beard and sensitive skin, that a straight is a really nice way of shaving... more so than DE. However I realize there's a learning curve and it won't be good for a while but I'm ready.

I'm looking at the whipped Dog for a beginner straight and kit and lets see if I can keep my face

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum DJ. You sound like you have done a bit of research, or possibly you just lucked in with your choice of a whippeddog for a cheap alternative for a first timer. Either way, a good start. Don't be afraid to ask any questions or for advice on how to. People here are always willing to help where they can.

Thanks Mick. I always go head over heels into researchin before I do anything ... which can be a good/bad thing

Good thing as far as I'm concerned. I do the same thing. I become an expert in theory, before I become an expert in practice.
