Johannes, Welcome to Sly Guys

Thanks a bunch for the instructions!!   I'm sure that will be valuable stuff for someone who comes along looking for just such information.

Personally, straight razors give me the jeebie heebies.

Merry Christmas!

Wow... just plain Wow!  I have the utmost respect for anyone that uses a straight razor to shave... I'd probably end up looking like Freddy Kruger just got done with me!!

Well Kelsey, Johannes step-by-step is a pretty thorough tutorial right here on this thread.  If that's the route you want to go, I would suggest taking clippers to your noggin with no guard first and then following Johannes method.  If you can afford it, find a MASTER barber with LOTS of experience shaving heads.  If you have a "The Art of Shaving" shop near you, they will shave your head with a straight razor while teaching you how to do it.

Click here:  http://www.theartofshaving.com/taos/history.php  and then go to "locations" to find out if there's a shop near you.

Hi guys!

I finally broke down and ordered a DOVO 5/8 STR8 Razor for face shaving. I got totally fed up with all the different double and triple cart. shavers that left me with a face full of Velcro by noon...

Nothing like an "old fashioned" barber shop style STR8 razor shave to start off the day!

Except for the HeadBlade for my dome I think cart. shavers suck for face shaing....

All the best!

Sraight Razor Shaves are great, and the Tutorial is awsome man.  But I think I will stick to the classic ways of the HeadBlade, and go with the Straight Razor job when I hit up the Barber Shop, talk about a treat right there!  O:O
Peace
