Like that at least I have a Boker in my collection and a singing blade.

I ll be more adventurous on my third SR....believe it or not, I am already looking....I see that this is going to be a serious problem.....

Thank you all for all your comments, I appreciate it.

Oh, I believe you. I'm only about 10 shaves into straight razor shaving and I just bought my second razor from wolfpack34 in the classifieds here. It's a Geo Wostenholm & Son vintage Sheffield extra hollow razor circa 1850-1890. I should get it tomorrow and I can't wait. My first razor isn't exactly a great beginners razor either, but while hunting for the best price on a Boker King Cutter, I found a place selling Boker Arbolitos for about 1/2 list price, so I went for it. 10 shaves and no blood yet, but I'm sure it's coming. I'm thinking about my third too, and may end up with another Boker, but I'm leaning toward an Edelweiss. As a beginner, I should probably have at least 1 razor that is suited for rookies.

Good luck with your Silver Steel. I'm anxious to hear what you think when you shave with it.

You will get used to any razor, it seems a bit pointless buying a "beginner's" razor as your second or third If you are getting along with what you have.

No, I agree Ed. That was tongue in cheek. Your comment was kind of the point I was trying to make, but I guess I didn't do a very good job getting it across. I may get the Edelweiss because I like it and have read many good reviews.

stop now while your ahead buy a vintage shave ready form the classifieds & never look at any razor sales again before the curse of RAD kicks in
