Thread: Getting Rough Rider Black Widow s"shave ready"?

Visit Straight Razor Designs and pick out a new Dovo. It will come honed to shave ready by an expert and you will get a free
second honing when the time comes. You will find some very nice Dovo's for less than $200. Enjoy.

I do have very sensitive skin, that's why I got the DE in the first place, I wanted to get the straight razor back then but did not dare, before I got the DE I've always avoided shaving mostly because no matter how careful I was I got a shitload of skinirritation, even with the DE my throat gets irritated easily.
I don't have very thick beardgrowth, almost noting except around the mouth, so basically the DE blades last forever.

I have looked at a kit with a Dovo 5/8", strop, silvertip brush, soap, stand and alunstick for around 200$

If you've been wet shaving for a couple of years you should already have some of this stuff (brush, soap, etc) so you really only need a razor and strop. A Dovo 5/8 is a good razor providing it's been made shave ready. Pick one up and a good strop and you're good to go.

No worries, on the "burn" * can get irritation just looking at a mach 3, but no probs here with a straight once I learned how to use it. I would suggest buying from lynn your first time, he puts a very keen edge on and will give you a nice shave out of the box. Larry from whippeddog.com is another great guy to buy from, it won't be pretty, but will shave like the dickens!

I'll second this. If money is an issue, you could do a lot worse than whippeddog's "sight half seen" razor and "poor mans" strop. It'd give you a chance to try a shave ready razor at low cost and decide whether or not shaving with a straight is for you.

Email Larry and he will help you as much as he can. Not sure where you got the $108 price as I think his most expensive kit is half that price.

It is 108$, 118$ shipped to sweden. I have emailed already

Are you having it refurbished also?

Do you mean the edge or the whole razor?

The whole razor
