Hello and Welcome to SRP!!!

I have to agree with most of the comments above, SRD has some great stuff and an amazing service.
If you want to go and see for yourself, I bet you can find "The Art Of Shaving" there in TX and they also carry some straight razors, the good side about that is that you get to see and feel the blades, their weight and all... the downside is that they don't usually sell Shave Ready blades, which you'd have to hone or take it to some one to hone it for you. (that's what I did)

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Yes, but don't be in a big rush to get a blade. I found that learning to handle a D/E goes a long way to learning the "touch" and some of the angles/approaches needed for a SR shaving, whilst also exposing you to the very real experience of nicks and razor burn (also pre/post care). AND gives a great shave. It took me a LONG time to get as close with a SR as I could nearly instantly with a DE.

Relax, enjoy the ride. Don't get caught up in the hype.

And yes, if one had to spend all his shave $ at one single place, SRD would be a great choice.
