This sounds like a fantastic idea. I'm looking to acquire my first straight razor and gear, but by the time I found this place I was feeling like I was lost in a jungle. There's tons of wonderful and not so wonderful advice out there, and while I'm looking forward to sorting it all out, I'd like to have something to start working with at the very least. I've only been her for a few days, but I'm already very impressed with the community here. I feel that I can put my trust (and cash) in good hands, and come out with a wonderful change in lifestyle. Thanks for bringing everything together, Topher!
