So, do most people start with RAD, then get SAD, which can end up being BAD?

How many FTDs/FTIs are on this site?

As of right now, I have zero. Thought I was done with straights, gave my 3 away to family and friends, along with my “starter strop.” I found I missed it, so here I am starting from scratch except I do still have my (minimal) honing kit minus the leather strop. I ordered a cheap razor off Amazon this morning (you know what brand) for a net cost to me of $2.00
I had some reward points I cashed in for answering surveys, so I basically paid sales tax plus a little bit. At least I can practice honing.

Come on Bro. You had a good start going. It takes time to get a great shave every day. You can do it man! But maybe not with THAT Razor from Amazon.

Are non Dovo Bismark razors good quality?

Last offer I turned down was $30 plus shipping

More like 6/8 anyway, if he was using that tape measure correctly lol

Well, I got my “Not to be Named” razor I ordered online. As expected, it won’t shave arm hair so it will be interesting to see if I can make it shave comfortably. I’m now looking at a couple of vintage, reasonably priced razors on the auction site. Hopefully I’ll have....and STOP at three total razors.



Let the smirking and chuckling commence...

I have had in my possession, one of that brand. It needed so much more than honing. It came long after I learned to hone. Early on when I was learning to hone, I was told to practice with the best razors I could. I did, and for some time honing was relatively easy. Known good steel, perfect geometry, all made learning the actual honing part much more simple. None of them got ruined. There is a well known member here that has had hundreds of razors, some remarkable collection pieces. He keeps a maximum number. It’s small, maybe ten. The rest he moves along as he replaces them with new ones. If you want to buy manny razors, you don’t have to keep them all.

Found a Dovo Prima Steel on LetGo in New York. Asking price was $70. Talked him down to $40, he said Deal! Then told me his location and asked when I was picking it up. So, any members near/in NYC, check LetGo for a decent price on a Dovo.

Had a chance at this for $40. Apparently it goes for $130. I passed it up.
