Greetings gents,

I'm making the switch to wet shaving and I guess I'm doing the norm by starting off with a DE before I move to a straight. Looking around at the selection of whats out there it gets pretty overwhelming as I'm sure most of you know. Between bowls, brushes, razors, blades, soaps, creams, oils and such and all the price tags it's almost like trying to eat an elephant. The best way I know to do that is one bite at a time and I figure the first bite will be the razor and the blades.

So what would you recommend for a newbie?
What are some differences between a razor for a beginner and one for more experienced users?
Do any of you have recommendations on a razor/blade combo for shaving your head?
