Hey there!


Firestart put me on to this site and I've been reading and such and getting info as I'm looking to get into a SR. I'm up here in Toronto, Canada *waves*.

Lots of good info on here, and I'm getting my list narrowed down of what to get my first time out. Here's the question... for the razor, should I be going with a stainless or high carbon blade to start? I know that the stainless is harder to get sharp, but stays sharp longer. But is that suitable for a noob such as myself, or would a high carbon blade do me better to start with?

I'm not really interested in honing my own blade,at least at the start! That should save me a couple bucks on the things I need to buy list, no? And I can get to that bridge when I cross it (er... you know what I mean).
