Hi, totally new to the forum and also to straight razor shaving, never tried it nor do i have anything yet, however been thinking about it for a while now! but going to give it a bash, on the cheap first, then if i can manage it and it's for me, i will then buy better kit and what i need! some might not agree with this, but been there before buying the best of the best to try something and never liked it, so not going to do it that way this time lol.

My plan was to buy a good condition used straight razor first, and maybe get someone to hone it for me so its shave ready, then just buy a leather strop, brush and some paste or spray for it and that was it to see how it goes.
what do any of the more experienced folk think?

thanks Grant
