    Default just joined, cant decide between razors

    hi, ive been looking at switching to straight razor shaving and have been reading in my spare time about the art. i have decided i want to try it out but cant decide between a couple of razors. i really like the TI and would love to get a $200 + one but im afraid , it being my first razor, will mess it up because of the lack of knowledge in maintaining it. i was also looking at the dovo special wich is alot less however my feelings are although i dont want to invest alot right now into the razor, im still looking to get one that will shave well as to not discourage me in continuing the art. any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    welcome to srp,

    there's always the option of vintage. the classifieds on this site are a good place to find ones that are cleaned up and honed already. as long as you buy from somebody who has been at this for a while you shouldn't have any issues.

    Agreed. tough to beat the startup price on the set. Classifieds are a pretty good place to lurk around. Don't even think about Ebay starting out!

    I think the guys have given you the best advice available.
