ya, i'd agree that 25$ for a shave ready razor in good condition is a fantastic deal..not just a good one.

those old fredrick reynolds are heavy, durable razors and will last a very long time. good choice by you.

as for another razor, i think what travis was saying is that he won't use anything besides a straight.. not simply that 1 straight only. but if you were saying that ..hehe ill just chuckle a little as soon it will kick in, as the shaves get better and easier and you buy more and look back at this post..hehehe

as for honeybee sue's soaps. they are AWESOME. go over and see her, get 2-3. they really are superb soaps. she has tons of scents and if she doesn't have one on hand, she has a list of scents, simply tell her what you want and usually she'll make it up. she did that for me for both of mine.
