Hello all. I'm brand new to the board. Not to the site, however. I've read and learned a bit. I've been shaving with a str8 for just 2 and a half months.
It goes without saying -- I'll never go back to a safety razor.
I'd like to thank Lynn for his video. I got more from that video than just learning technique. What I really got out of it was his confidence and matter of factness that he imparted on his demo. It gave me the confidence I needed to pick up my razor and scrape some lather off my face, as they say.
(Thanks, Lynn)
I asked the staff at ClassicShaving.com what suggestions they had given the my time constraints and budget. They suggested a Feather razor. I must say I'm happy with it, but I wonder if it's the same as a regular str8.
What are your thoughts ? Should I ever have to "upgrade" or is the quality of the razor and shave the same ?
I do admire the decor on some of the regular razors.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Feather user.
