It is a great shop. I can't stand that strop though. I had gotten a similar set from the same shop some time ago. The strop was not to my liking. You may want to ask about a strop upgrade or start with that package and switch it up later. One of the important things is that all his razors are shave ready. As for pricing there are probably cheaper ways to go but it may be harder to source all the parts and pieces for what you save. I hope that makes sense. Also it is a Canadian shop so if you are in Canada it makes complete sense to shop there.
