Thread: Newbie Questions

First I’d like to introduce myself considering that this is my first post. My name is Mike and I’m 24 years old. I’m a college student at the University of Kentucky. I shaved with a straight razor for the first time about two weeks ago and I absolutely fell in love with it. I was looking on classicshaving.com and I came across a nice razor set that I’m considering purchasing (the picture of the set is below). Would you guys recommend this kit? In addition, if I buy this kit would I also need to buy paste for my strop? If so, what paste would you recommend? Lastly, what hone would you recommend that I buy? Any information that you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
