Thanks for the tips!
Bert31 - I live in Willard, OH. About 80 miles or so north of Columbus. Nope not married, just enjoying the bachelor life
My beard is thick enough that I feel I could get the full benefit of a straight edge. But since I have no experience with one, I was thinking I could start off with a safety razor.
I used to have a MachIII Turbo but I got sick and tired of paying for replacement blades. My disposables work fine but they don't got anything on the straight edge I was shaved with at the Salon. The salon is called Fiesta. Just 3 blocks from me.
