Hello everyone, I recently got my first straight shave done at The Art of Shaving, and ended up leaving the store with a shavette, a pack of blades, and a starter kit "travel kit" of Sandalwood scented pre-shave oil, cream, and lotion as well as a small bottle of vanilla tobacco scented beard oil for my goatee. Obviously after walking out of the store with my wallet much lighter sitting in my pocket, I loved the shaving experience. Now I am addicted for sure, I shaved with the shavette two weekends ago with a few minor nicks and very minor rash, and this past weekend I was nearly perfect, minus leaving a little stubble under my goatee that nobody would know was there unless they were rubbing under my chin (which the only person that should be doing that is my wife.) None the less, I am hooked and I can't make up my mind on what straight razor I would like to buy. I have seen a few very nicely priced razors with awesome looking scales, but they vary from square point or round point. I would like some opinions on the matter. I looked at a razor today that says it is a square point, but it still has probably a good 1/16 - 1/8 inch radius on the end of the razor. I picture a perfect 90 degree end when I see a description of a "square" edge. I am also looking for my razor to be a 5/8 blade. I also notice that people say don't buy an expensive strop for your first strop, because you will wreck it or possibly wreck it. It is a different subject from my Title of the subject, and I will look into the strop section more, I just figured I might run on with my enthusiasm for a minute.....ok I'm done.
