i am new to this forum. I'll be doing some research about straight razors and how to shave using them. I purchased a $10 straight razor to practice with from Amazon. This:
I see a lot of cheap razors that look high quality but some need to be honed. I will learn how to do that someday but my goal is to not spend a lot of money. I won't skimp on getting a quality razor though. I only want one to use forever so I need to figure out which one is the best for me. I want quality so it can be passed down and keep getting used. I am open to suggestions so please share your experiences and advise. The straight razor above is easy to use. I shaved my entire face with it and cut myself up pretty good. Wrong angles and pressure, also not having any muscle memory but that will all get better with time. I finished with my Merkur 34C which seemed even more of a godsend after trying the straight razor. I will definitely make sure my boys have one of those in their shaving bag. Anyway this is all good fun.
