Hello everyone!

After many years of thinking straight razors were super cool, I have finally decided to start learning to use one. I am completely new to straight razors, and wet shaving in general, but I have been browsing the forum and it seems highly recommended that an affordable way to get started with a straight razor is to buy a vintage razor from somebody else. Unfortuately, I do not know anybody who uses a straight razor. I have looked for local sellers on sites like kijiji but I have not found anything which is a clear choice and I also feel very intimidated because I do not know very much about straights so it is hard to know if the razor is actually good and shave ready. I also read on the forums here that some members sold starter kits but I have been unable to locate anything like this. I have browsed some big retailers as well but I don't know if I should buy used or new as I unfortunately do not have a ton of money to work with.

Thank you all for having me on this site.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much,
Risible
