Gents,
I've been shaving with a DE safety for the last 5 years. It's my second favorite part of the day. I do have a really sensitive face. (Or my technique/depth is bad) Looks like a war zone if I shave every day (even sometimes every other). So, I shave 2-3 times per week and it's good.
I want to venture into my first straight razor. Been doing some research, here's where I think I'm at: fully hollow, 5/8, rounded tip. I'd rather not buy in and 'grow out' of a razor, so I'm looking to buy a really nice beginner razor to start. Any thoughts so far, brands, etc? Also, interested in thoughts on hone/strop as well? Anything to consider there given my plans?
Thanks!
