I have been considering buying a straight razor for some time but have been hesitant because of the cost. My other half, though, one day told me of an internet site that sells them pretty cheap- her friend bought some. After searching around here about opinions of the brand (I found positive posts), I bought some. Here's what I bought-

Traditional kit- http://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/starterkits.html
Two straight razors (I thought that I might as well get two while I'm there)- http://www.theinvisibleedge.co.uk/page83.html

I will get a 4000/8000 hone some time soon- how can I tell that a razor needs honing?

My razors will arrive "at the end of next week" according to the email I was sent. I'm getting pretty excited about this! :P
