I appreciate the advice. This would actually be a second razor for me, but thank you for taking the time to offer that info. I agree with your point on SRP probably being a safer venue to buy a used blade due to any member wanting to maintain a good standing here. I'll probably hold of on searching for my own razors until I'm ready to take on those projects myself, such as a time when I decide I can take on learning to hone on my own. Hell, I'm still trying to strop and not kill me edge so I'm going to be leaving that to the pros for a while.
