    Hey guys, been a long time. Been on a very long DE run but getting back into straights lately. Looking for a cheap shave ready straight. Hopefully from a great honer.

    I currently have a dovo stainless that seems to have an uneven bevel going on. I can't quite get it sharp/smooth enough not to pull with thick stubble. I suck at honing. Even sent it to a known awesome honer and still felt pulling to me.

    So looking for a cheap straight shave ready so I can confirm my concept of sharp. And to practice maintaining the edge on a hard Chinese stone.

    What size, and type of grind are you looking for?

    I've only tried full hollow and 1/4 hollow so far, not that experienced, wedge looks interesting. Grind and size don't really matter to me right now as much as cheap, easy to maintenance hone, and already have a smooth very sharp edge upon delivery. Realistically I'd like to stay as much under $50 as I can.

    Have you looked at WhippedDog yet? Most of Larry's razors are under $50.00 and he puts a very sharp edge on them.

    Reserved one! Thanks guys! Very impressed with whippeddog's offerings and helping the shaving community. Wish he was around 5 years ago when I started!
