Beginner questions

In all curiosity, what is an excellent beginner SR? How long until you're no longer a beginner and move to something more intermediate? What would an intermediate SR be?What are TSD's thoughts?

 

By SR, do you mean Safety Razor or Straight Razor?

 

Apologies, I mean safety razor.

 

Here's a great thread on great beginner razors. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/im-a-new-wetshaver-which-razor-should-i-get-pic-heavy.16364/

Truth is, you'll never need anything more than one of these but if you decide to go more aggressive later, there are a lot of options. I'd wait to start worrying about that though. It'll happen on it's own soon enough

 

Thanks a ton! I'll read through the thread now.

 

FYI, around here SR generally means a straight razor. Safety razors are DE (double edge) or SE (single edge.)

 

I'd go with one of the Techs. The ball end is a bit easier to find than that fat handle. But, both are great razors and are newbie friendly.

Welcome to the Den!

 

Depends: you want a new razor or a vintage one?
