Well, the time has come. It's been almost five months since I found this place and took up DE shaving with all its other pleasures. Now, however, I am really itching to acquire a straight and take up that path.
It's very common that when a new guy asks about DE shaving, he is recommended the HD as the first razor. It makes sense, of course. The razor has wonderful shaving characteristics, it works as well as most of them, it is readily available and as such does not break the bank.
In the world of straights, is there such a razor that exhibits the same qualities? The selection is simply overwhelming from what I have seen and it leaves me confused. I've done research here and at the straight razor place and now I would like a recommendation or two (but no more than three ) on a razor. Just like the HD, I would like it to be a friendly razor, but one that is still able to take me far.
I do realize that this may be a highly opinionated question, but if you can think of a razor that would meet my requirements, then please just type it into the text box and hit the Post Reply button.
