Shaving: Hints, advice, questions (for the bois)

Linus · 05-28-2010, 08:15 PM

I've been contemplating getting a straight razor (as opposed to the commonly used triple/quad commercial razors). Has/does anyone use a straight razor? Are there any brands that you'd recommend over others? I have a nice shaving soap my aunt got me. It lathers nice and I have a nice faux badger brush to lather with. I just need a nice razor to go with.

I've also considered a double-edge (old fashion razor) but my concern is that it's hard to do the very specific and narrow shaves along my side-burn area.
