I am going to start a new thread and just cut to the chase.

I am new to straight razor shaving and need advice on razors.
I have after much searching, reading, and study narrowed my choice of razors based on what is available to the following:
SRD's Ralf Aust 5/8" Black Straight Razor & Strop Set
or one of the following 3 razors in classified
Germania Cutlery Works with custom scales
Frederick Reynolds 5/8 with custom scales
Joseph Allen&sons NON XLL Sheffield 6/8
I like SRD's combination set as it gives me a break on the strop.
I like the FR but am afraid of the smile.
I like the JA but am concerned about the quality of the steel.
Being a total novice my concerns are probably absurd to the experienced.
Anyone willing to help me make a decision?
Terry
