Just thought it was time to introduce myself
I have thought about straight razor shaving on and off for a couple of years now. It never went any further than that, until recently finding this site, which has been a great source of information and encouragement.
So after reading your advice for newbie’s listening to a lot and ignoring some, I have bought myself a polish army razor, strop and stone from that polish guy whatjmacallhim on eBay. I know it’s not the recommended route but it suits my budget for now and I'm watching out for a nice shave ready razor from your list of recommended sellers and plan to try and make the polish razor shave ready using one of yours as a baseline.
Anyway hi all and thank you.
