well i dont know very much about this whole straight razor thing but i do know that straight razors are pretty bad ass so i wanna give it a try. i just bought a Wapienica 9/16 NOS from some guy in poland for like 21. My understanding is that i cant use it as is and i have to send it to someone to get sharpened. Also, i dont have any other tools like a strop and such so does this mean i have to get those before i can use it or can i use for a bit and then make the bigger investment?

Thanks For Your help

Jason
