Welcome to the forum Johannes!!! I'm glad you found us here. That's a pretty serious razor ya have there...damn.
-
Yeah, welcome Johannes! I was waiting for our first real Straight Razor shaver to join. Hopefully you can enlighten us on the benefits of using a straight razor.

I can see using a straight razor for the face, but I think I lack the... courage to use a straight razor to shave my head. ???
-
Welcome Johannes, we've talked before. I use a straight on my face, but could never get the knack of using one on my head. Some day I'll have to post pictures of my straight razor collection.

I once had my head shaved with a straight razor when I visited a barber in NYC. He did my whole face and head. I have to admit that I was a little tense when he first started on my face, but one he got to my head I was relaxed.
-
Hi and Welcome Johannes!!

:-\ I just realized how rude I was on the post. I’m sorry Johannes. Welcome to the site, and I’m looking forward to some info you can pass along about using a straight razor.

I read an article years ago on how to use the straight razor to shave a face, but didn’t act on it because I was unable to find a straight razor at the time. Now I have seen a Razor shops in my travels and online shopping has definitely opened several other places to find a straight razor. I would love the opportunity to learn how to use one.

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.

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!
Tony

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
