Hi all, second post after introducing myself in the new member section.

I got into wet shaving 7 months ago and now I feel ready to start slowly learning the straight. I've been reading up and I'd like some insight from the veterans.

For my first razor would it be better to go from the B/S/T or the re-worked Gold Dollar from Razor Emporium?

Price point is attractive and new user errors wouldn't leave me frustrated since its $50.
Then it can be for practicing honing later on?

I've got brushes and soaps, would need a strop and straight for decent dive in.

Thoughts?
