Help Navigating Classifieds/Other Places to Buy 1st Razor
Hi all,
I've been shaving with a DE for about a year now and this summer I was interested in messing around (in a safe way) with a straight razor. Therefore, I have already procured things like a brush, soap, and mug, so I just need a razor and strop.
I've been looking around the site a lot and I've seen a lot of suggestions to buy a "shave ready" blade from the classifieds. I've taken a look and it seems a bit intimidating. Should I go with something like the $55 or $90 DOVOs on the first page? I feel like quality should cost a little bit more. I'm willing to spend in the range of $150 for the razor and strop.
So can anyone give some advice on if any of the current listings would be worth scooping up? Should I wait out for some others to be posted? Or is there any other site you'd recommend that has some good deals?
Thanks.
