    I have been using a DE for the past few years unless we go on Vacation. Normally don't check luggage so I don't want to lose my razor to tsa. I also don't have a job I have to shave every day. Sometimes go for a week or more.
    Over the weekend I got an email from Naked armour SB's and decided to jump in. I did some research and called to see the country of origin for them. I spoke with a call center and she did not know. No problem I will search online. No luck.

    Since my Grandfather came to the USA from Germany I decided to search German manufacturers and decided on a Dovo Bismarck. I am having it honed before shipping.

    I just turned 57 and have been shaving since 15. Started with Dad's DE. Somewhere along the line I switched to cartridges.

    I have had full beards and Van Dykes on and off sometimes for years at a time.. so I just trimmed things up.

    I'm a bit nervous about the SR. But I think I can catch on rather quickly.

    Hi from Seoul, nice to meet you. The Dovo Bismarck is a wonderful razor, several of us have them. With patience you be able to use a straight razor, I was nervous when I started too.

    Welcome. I shave with everything except carts. If I can do a straight, so can you.
