    Default NEW and In love

    Hi all,

    Im new to straight razors. I bought a dovo shavette and used it yesterday. Ive been shaved with a straight razor before at a barber shop and loved it. I used my shavette yesterday and loved it too. I didnt cut myself at all but did suffer minor irritation from what i would say my skin has to get used to it and my beard was not softened enough. anyway....
    Im looking to get a good razor, strop, and honing stone in the near future what i want to know is why the dramatic price differences on razors and what would you recommend as i am not looking to spend $200 on a razor alone??

    +1 on what Jimmy said. And do upgrade to the 3" strop. That advice was given to me and I followed it. I had no idea just how important the 3" strop is when you are just starting, but it was worth every penny.

    That DOVO will take you a long way for a long time. Until you get RAD that is!
