Hello all, I just got off of Active Duty Army and we weren't permitted Straight Razors but I've always wanted to use one. My budget is pretty tight. I've purchased the $25 "gentlemans shaving kit" from wal-Mart. It included a brush, mug and soap puck. I believe all I need now is a SR, a strop, and oil. I'm new to all of this and have watched a few videos from Lynn as well as read his SR for beginners article on here.

I am considering purchasing a SR from whippeddog.com since
It seems to be the cheapest and they are "shave ready". Has anyone had experience with them?
Also do I need a honing stone and all that other fancy jazz? Am I missing anything?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated,
Thank you,
-Scott.
