Hi Gents - I'm from Geelong in Australia
Hi Gents,
I'm from Geelong in Australia and I think I may be about to commit SRP sacrilege.
I've been pondering the idea of using a straight razor and before I jump in boots and all, I thought I'd ask if it's worth starting out with something like a DOVO Shavette first to get the technique of shaving with something similar to a straight razor before I make the investment on my first real straight razor?
I suppose this comes form feeling a little overwhelmed by all this technical talk on stropping and honing. I sharpen my own hunting knives on a flat stone but this seems like a whole new level.
I am still in the research phase, so any advice would be kindly appreciated to point me in the right direction.
Kind Regards,
Steve (AKA - Goatman)
