Hi-

I'm (obviously) new here, and I am quite new to the straight razor shaving world. However, I am quite enthusiastic to start shaving with one. The problem being trying to find reasonably priced equipment. I purchased a lot of 3 razors, all in quite amazing condition for around $15 on eBay (one is a J.H. Frost 'mini' razor m.i. Germany, a Robeson Shur-Edge, and the last is kinda worn off, but says ...aurmann...Germany) Now, I consider $5 per razor to be a reasonable price for these kinds of things, and am kind of appalled to see razors going for $100+ on eBay.

Really, what I'm wondering about is resources for inexpensive strops and whetstones (I checked around this site and it's links, and have yet to find a good site for these. I hear mention of a members strops, perhaps handmade, but can't find a link or info on how to obtain one.) I also just purchased two more razors from eBay, averaging out to about $11 a razor. I know they're both pretty decent quality, name/manufacturer-wise, but am curious as to whether the Keen Kutter would be usable as a shaver with some work?

Thanks a lot for the info in advance!
