    Default DE shaver Turned Straight!

    Hi Gents, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum members. I have been DE shaving for some time my favorite razor is a EJ89 with feather blades and a bulldog handle. I got 2 razors from Whipped Dog to start off a rotation and have a razor I bought in the wild that I want to hone myself. The plan is to make my own 7 day kit but of razors I really like. My favorite one is a Torrey 5/8 with white scales. I love the feedback.
    I have like 3 or 4 small cuts on the left side of my face letting me know how much I suck with my eft hand. I'm not going to be deterred though because I remember the learning curve with the DE, not I'm practically a pro!
    Hopefully the same will be said with the straight.

    I still have to learn the sharpening / honing / stroping part and hopefully that will come to me swiftly.

    Anyway, great forum I hope to learn and contribute!

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Welcome ! Sounds like your enjoying the learning curve so far. I jumped right into straights myself and never looking back. I may have missed something by passing on a DE but no looking back now.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Where are you located? Maybe there is someone near you that can shorten your learning curve.

    Hey Dave welcome to SRP! Gave up my DE myself about a month after getting my straight and sharpening supplies + strop. Although they are great razors and sooo much better than any cartridge razor you can buy, I still can't see my self using it again because I just love my straight so much I hope you have lot of fun with yours. You are in the right place to learn. enjoy!

    Daniel
