Hey everyone. I'd like to introduce myself. 24 years old, been wetshaving for 2 years now, DE lately. I'm ready to make the jump into straights. This forum has had a plethora of information and I've been lurking on it for some months know just trying to decide to make the jump.
Well I have, but I want to know what I should start with. I've heard alot of positive feedback from starting with a Dovo Shavette, as it doesn't cost a lot incase I don't find the technique appealing/useful for my face, and I won't have to incur initial expenses on a hone/strop.
Is that the move to make, or should I get an introductory "serious" Dovo 5/8 and add the strop/hone later if I see it fitting?
I already have a badger brush and soap, so its just the blade I have to jump into!
Thanks in advance,
Flat
