Thanked: 0Startup advice
So I've been reading through forums and browsing this site for awhile now in prep for my first straight razor experience, and first off, this site and its members are awesome. Second, I wanted some advice on equipment/products. I don't initially want to spend a lot, but at the same time I want a good experience. Here's what I had in mind:
Razor (already purchased from classifieds for $20): Rescaled Klas Tornblom 4/8
Brush: Omega #11712 Banded Boar brush for $12
Shaving Cream: TOBS Avocado $14
Strop: Whipped Dog Poor man's strop $25 or two strap Leather strop $30
Aftershave or preshave: DIY food-grade coconut oil, castor oil, vitamin E oil (I currently use it as a hair conditioner/ face wash/ beard softener)
Am I missing anything, or are there better products in the same price range I should consider? Thanks!
