Any reason not to buy this razor/kit?
Hey all, I'm new here, and have a few questions.
I've been looking to buy a straight razor for a while now, but hadn't gotten around to it. For the last 7 years or so I've usually had a full beard, so would have only been using it for the neck and cheek line. However, I recently started a new job that requires me to shave, and I get irritation something fierce trying to use the Gillete Proglide razors. I've tried a few others, with no better luck.
Anyways, here's the kit I'm thinking about buying:

Any others I should be considering? I've read the FAQs on this site, and understand it may need some honing prior to first use?
