Need Help choosing the right straight razor
I've decided that I want to begin the art of learning to use the straight razor, and need help finding the right quality straight razor. I definitely want a razor that I will take pride in having and using for a very long time not just a show piece or something to have. Through my limited research, I've found that hollow ground 5-8ths width razors are the direction I need to go in. I've heard Dovo is a good brand, but I'm not sure of any other highly appraised brand. As far as looks I really like the steel handles to the point where I don't think I would get a razor that didn't have a steel handle. So far, this is my favorite razor, it seems to be high quality and I like the lines of the hand and blade(although I do like the blades with the straight ends- meat cleaver look) it costs 170, which is the most that I would want to pay. Could you please tell me if this and a good choice and any recommedations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. http://www.theartofshaving.com/stati.../310/68022.jpgStainless Steel Straight Razor | Buy Thiers-Issard Razors
