Thread: It is "almost" time.

Yes, Ralf Aust is an excellent choice for a first razor. Also Revisor. The Classifieds offer a relatively good choice of starter razors. The 5/8 and 6/8 round point razors are ideal for beginners.

As said a 5/ 8 or 6 / 8 round point is best for learning. The classifieds here, SRD or any of the site vendors are good places to start. As Bongo said try meet with a local mentor as they can show you the different sizes and grinds and you can get a feel for what would be be best for you. Good luck with your razor hunt
