Waiting for my first straight razor
Hello people,
I am waiting in anticipation for my first straight razor. I have been wanting to switch from the disposable kind for a long time. Finally I am making the jump and what a jump it is.
man, I had no idea that there is so much to learn. New words and terms, so many exciting new things. I have been using a brush for some time, but again, can't wait to have a better one than the el cheapo kind.
I have a Bergischer Löwe w/ olive wood coming and I opted for and a stainless version in olive wood aswell from Dovo. I am thinking I will start with the stainless one first and work my way to the BL. :)
I have been doing a lot of reading over the last few month, stropping and so on.
Here is my question, any advice to a novice?
like I said, I have been doing all the research, but a good old info from a daily user might just be the thing I am looking for.
Many thanks.
