Thread: Hello from Turkey, and a question in the very first post.

Hello all,

Being embarassed thinking how much toxic waste I've created using shaving material all those years, finally I've bit the bullet and ordered two Shavettes from shavenation. I've always wanted to use straights but my ignorance on honing material and my honing abilities I always afraid of straight razors, I am not sure if I can get used to shave even with shavettes, but still I've decided to get a decent straight razor anyway, maybe for the regular use in the future, if I can't shave with it, for collection purposes.

My straight must be a pretty good one, custom honed and under 300$ originally but scales must be cherry red color, slight tortoise or fake horn pattern is ok, plexiglass looking transparent red scales are ok too.

So my very first question to you folks, is there a place or person you know of I can get a decent straight razor under $300 and after that have a custom honing and custom scale change too ? (with additional expense of course)
I can also purchase the straighr razor from somewhere else and send it to place where the honing and scale change will take place.

(For instance a Thiers Issard razor, T1 red stamina caught my uneducated eye because of the thumb groove on the tang, thumb groove should give a better control on the razor I guess, what do you say?)

Thanks in advance.
