Hello,

Thanks for accepting me to your forums.

I am new to the world of SER's and have been looking around the last few weeks, till I stumbled upon the SRP. What a store house of information and experience!

I am looking for your advice. I would like to go in for a razor that would suit a reasonably sensitive skin, a moderately tough beard and an inexperienced straight edge razor user. I am prepared to spend about $200 for the Razor, Strop and hone. If i can get a honed and ready to use razor, then the $ is for the razor and the strop.

I am partial to some of these that i list below, for no other reason than the looks and the rounded tip.

Thanks very much for your inputs gentlemen.
