Should i retake the plunge...
Hey guys!
After a break from this site I'm getting the urge to get back into it. I've been using a DE razor for thr past 6 months with good results but i really miss the whole straight razor experience. I have two old strops left from my old days and. Dmt1200 but that's it! This timr around i wanto keep things simple and low $$. What would you recommend? My personal preference is for 6/8 hollow ground with light scales.
Glaf to be back!

That was my initial thought
But my skin isnt a bug fan of the barber hone finish. I have very sensitive skin.

Back in my shavibg and honing days, i was getting great results with a belgian yellow. It was sharp enough while being easy on my skin.
