Though I may not be good at it yet, I am a full-time straight razor shaver. However, this forum has also interested me in DE's, as a travel option, a time saver, or a back-up because I have a tendency to render my straights unusable for short periods of time through learning to shave, strop, and hone.
Now that I want to start keeping my eyes peeled for a DE on my antique store runs, I started doing research about them. But the information is quite scattered and I noticed that there is no sticky thread for newbies.
Is there an experienced DE shaver who can create a comprehensive thread about the various types of DE's and basic instruction for assembly/use?
Thank you to everyone who is so generous with their stories and insights on this forum.
