Ditto on the RAD!!

I was in the exact same boat that you are in. I too have all of my stuff from DE shaving. Iwent to a local antique mall and purchased several razors, all but one was bought for under $8.00 each.

I then sent them off to be cleaned up a little and honed.

In the meantime I picked up a strop and Lynn Abrams' DVD.

About a week later my razors came back shave ready and I was able to complete my first shave.

While I may have been able to start straight shaving by myself, this helpful community at SRP made it a lot easier and I'm keeping my blood on the inside where it belongs!
