Hello, I've been shaving with a DE for little over a year now and been using a Feather AC on and off for maybe half that time, and while I like the shaves the Feather gives me it could be a little more... shall we say forgiving? Don't get me wrong, I get great shaves form it but I would like to try something else. (And besides, if Shaveopcalypse happens and takes Feather with it, no more blades right?)
So I'd like to give straights a try. I got a deal from Whipped Dog and liked it (the tugging I felt turned out to be my angle being way off) and will keep it, but I would also like a razor that isn't so... unseen. I've read up on new razors and the sentiment seems to be "Make sure the seller hones it good!". Which is fine advise, but how do I know what stores hones and who doesn't? They all claim to be great honers! And what's worse, most razors are out of stock everywhere which makes it harder still.

So I was wondering if any nice members here have any tips on a nice razor from a reputable vendor that's actually in stock?
