Thread: Advice Please

I am using a DE, but I would like to try a straight. All I know for certain is that I don't want a shavette, but that's all I know....

Advice would be greatly appreciated ladies.....

Thanks in advance
Cheers
Linda

Linda --

The least-expensive source for a shave-ready straight razor (vintage) is probably:

Whipped Dog Straight Razor Sales

The second-least-expensive is the "Classifieds" on this website.

You'll also need a strop (available from either source). I suggest buying an inexpensive strop -- you'll be nicking your first strop, if you're as clumsy as most of us.

You can get started for a bit over $50, razor and strop from Whipped Dog [Larry].

Least expensive new shave-ready razor is the Dovo "Best Quality" from

Straight Razor Designs, The Finest In Gentlemens Shaving And Grooming Needs

Welcome Linda!.

My best advise is a 5/8 round point razor, strop and soap/cream and brush. Not sure what you currently may have on hand. There are many places you can get these. Whipped dog is one as has been mentioned. Check out the classifieds here also, there are new razors being posted almost every day. Straightrazordesigns.com also has some Dovo starter sets that are priced nicely.

Let me know if you have any questions. I would be happy to help you out. Good luck

Thank you both....
