I tried to read as many threads and titles as possible to answer this, but I have a detailed question. I have been on the forum for a while and look forward to my first straight razor shave. I purchased a razor on ebay and have already made arrangements to have it honed and possible restored. Now, I know I need a brush, soap or cream, strop, and a bowl. There are also conditioners, oils and lotions to consider. My question is, is ther any place to get all of these in a set without the razor? Will I be beter off piecing everything together from different sites who specialize in each product. I want a cool vontage bowl from ebay probably, but I also want a high quality brush wherever I can get one. I also want a good cream or soap from places recommended here. Im a little overwhelmed on how to get all of this before my first shave. Any suggestions? Whew, thank you!!!
