Well guys, the time has come for me to try out a straight!
I've been DE shaving for a full year now. Learned alot, bought alot. Since the beginning of my adventure I've always wanted to try a straight razor. I even bought a cheap leather strop without having a straight razor! So when I came upon Larry's website (Whippeddog) I figured it was time to start!
I went with a sight unseen deal with a Balsa strop. I, as mentioned above, already have a leather strop. I found out Larry is a great guy and really is helping me out. After I made the payment he told me he would send me a Clauss half hollow razor with black scales.
I'm anxiously waiting for the razor to arrive. In the meantime I'm studying all the stickies/Wiki pages and shave manual Larry send me.
Any advice on what I really really should absolutely not forget when I start my first straight shave?
