Thread: SRP REVIEW

i have been shaving with a straight razor since 2003. I use disposable blades. I always had a thing with shaving since my skin is very sensitive and had tried almost every single safety razor humanity invented. It was in 2003 that i discovered the straight razor while having my hear cut and the barber asked if i wanted to shave my beard.
After the life changing response (a yes) the barber lathered and shaved to my surprise with a disposable straight. Of course i was scared and the first thing i thought of was my throat cut and my blood spilling out. It wasnt the case, the closest shave i ever had, so smooth i thought i was 10 and most important of all, not a hint of irritation and i was hooked. Since then it was the straight for me until i saw a vintage straight razor in a flea market. I can swear that the thing called my name and since that day vintage straight razors stuck to me like flies on sugar. so i started looking around, i first saw the Thiers-issard and then saw the Dovos but the prices were way out of my range. So i sought after ebay and bought my self a nice simmons and have one Mandarin on the way. I will not use them until i have a complete rotation stones and stropes. So in the mean time i prepare myself and learn about the maintenance of the razors and this is how i found straight razor place.com

Never in my life i have seen so many friendly users, passionate about their razors, know everything people, seen everything people, done everything people and find a solution to everything people.
ask if a fly use a wade&butcher or a dovo and you WILL get an answer :P

never seen a site with this much information about straight razors and no wonder this site is the best of them all. Beautifuly structured, user friendly and simply well organised.
