Looking to buy my first razor...suggestions?
I'm looking into shaving with a straight razor, and I'm unsure of buying a decent starting razor without investing too much money.
I've heard the site classicshaving is a good place to get quality items, so i was looking at this blade in particular, for price mainly.

Has anyone had any experience with this blade or the company that makes it? Also, i read that Lynn does honing through classicshaving but couldn't see the option anywhere. Is it deep within the checkout, or is there an option hidden somewhere that i have to add to the cart?
Also, any suggestions for a beginning strop would be appreciated. I'm eager to try it, but don't want to break the wallet right off the bat until i'm sure it's something i'm going to enjoy. At the same time, i don't want to skimp so much as to ruin my experience due to shoddy materials so i'm looking for a bit of advice.
As far as brushes and soaps...i read somewhere i'm able to pick these up a local walgreens to start with? If not, i'll order it at the same time as i pick up the blade and strop, but want to be sure.
Thanks in advance,
Kyle
