Thread: Newbie first purchase questions

Do you want new or vintage? I,m in the camp for the Aust if getting first new, even though my first new razor was a Dovo Best, and is a fine shaving razor , just the fit, finish of the product is not as good as the Aust, now as for vintage , the classifieds are full of razors shave ready, and in all price ranges, also if buying new buy from a site that will sell you a shave ready razor instead of factory edge, if you read enough on this site there are a coupe sites most here do business with , I,m not going to name names there all over our website , you have to decide who you like best or by price. Good luck. Tc

I usually recommend vintage. Through the classifieds you can get good cheap shave-ready vintage razors. If you find straight shaving is not your thing you can sell them at more or less the same amount you paid provided you handled it with care. You don't need a fancy brush unless you have money to burn. For a strop there is plenty vendors here on SRP.
