Thread: inexpensive razor

I've heard only good things about whipped dog.

Another affordable way to start would be to purchase the brush and soap first. You can use those with your existing razor, improve your shave right away, and, once you are comfortable with those, you'll be in a better position, skill wise, to move onto a straight, plus you'll already have some of your gear.

save your pennies and buy a good one used

It'll hold it's value if you want / need to sell it later but you'll have removed a variable from your learning experience

All good advice. The best is ,,,make sure your razors is of good quality and truly shave ready. Stay away from cheap. It is a disaster waiting to happen. ( Except for Whipped dog. ) You shave alone in the bathroom anyway and if it doesn't work out frame it and have some nice bathroom decor :<0)
