My name is Seth, and I am looking to get into the straight razor game. I have wanted to make a purchase for probably about two years, but I just haven't yet. I've done some research and checked out some sites, and I think I am ready to start.

SRD is sold out of a lot of its sets right now, and I am contemplating alternatives. I am looking to spend no more than around $350 for everything that is needed to start. I live near an Art of Shaving store, and I am curious how they compare.

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
