I am on the fence now after the first DE shave.
Hi, I just had my first DE shave (not exactly the first one, but this time, I
got it right with Merkur 12C long handle open comb+Feather, with proper face preparations).
Finally, I had that "buttery" feeling when the blade sliding through my skin.
Everything sticking out just melted away.
This has put me in a awkward position since I am not sure anymore I should
even start to learn the straight razor if a DE can provide such a
close shave with much less demand for skills. I have ordered a bunch of honing stones and
strops and blades. Haha
Any input would be welcome.
