Thread: help with razor I am ordering

SRD ships quickly. I like the kit you are ordering. I would recommend you upgrade the strop to 3" with the standard webbing and you pick the color you like. I would skip the oil. The sack is a good idea.

Let us know how this goes for you.

iz858 you are welcome to pm me your mailing address and I will get nice shave cream off to
you no charge. I have not read this entire thread but you will need a brush to complete your start up
items.

Thanks bro, I am going to place the order in a few hours. Thank you for all the help guys I really appreciate everyone's input.

Had some bills pop up so I had to put the straight razor order on hold. Thanks for all the info so far guys. I will update you when I order.

That is a good choice for your needs at this point. Coming from SRD gives you a free honing when you need it. They will get your order to you quickly. Enjoy.

Why SR so cheap on this site? https://thesuperiorshave.com/straight_razors.html

Anyone know the deal with them?

They are great. They operate this site. They are honest and don't screw you. I would not go spike point if I were you. Spike = pointy and sharp. Was not the R. Aust a round or spanish point, which is easier to handle as a new shaver? Also, I hate to disagree with anyone (prior poster) but Thiers Issard doesn't seem to be delivering the same quality as R. Aust right now and your price is for a kit, not a razor.

Agreed on the 3" strop. I got that with the premium fabric and works well.
