Just curious if anybody else here is into shaving with a straight razor? Recently picked up a Dovo straight razor and all I can say is best shave of my life even without having much experience with it.

I've considered it, but never actually tried it.

I have been using shaving soap instead of shaving cream for the last year and i think it gives a much better shave than shaving cream/gel. Not quite the same just passing it on.

I think my roommate summed it up the best: "you start your day with some asshole holding a razor to your throat and everything else after that is easy."

I was surprised how easy it actually is. Definitely a little unnerving the first time but really all it takes is a little patience and practice. Beats the shit out of spending close to $50 a month on blades.

i had an intense wet shave in Malaysia.
The dude shaved my nose and forehead. Very weird.
I looked like I was about 12 years old afterward and my girlfriend's family laughed me at for about two days.

Wow, didn't think I'd run into other shave geeks here. But considering the busiest thread lately was about couponing, I suppose I shouldn't be all that surprised :P

Also, this site is pretty good for high-end shaving stuff: www.groominglounge.com

Also, believe it or not, Sephora and Ulta have some good stuff too. I prefer Jack Black products, myself.

Shut up, I'm a Punktrosexual...

Did I just share too much?

Anyone checking out my latest facebook profile image should see I don't do so well with the shaving :D

I just use an electric shaver.
