I've been spending the last week or so reading up on straight razor shaving, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the different options, etc. I've just bought a razor from another member for what seems a good price for a decent razor, although I'm sure I'll eventually buy another one down the road, once I get the hang of what I'm doing and figure out what will best suit me.
Anyway, my question is essentially this: what should I do about everything else? Strop, brush, soap, etc. - should I go to the drugstore and get simple soap and brush and get a basic strop and wait and see what I really want later, or should I take time now to try to sift through everything? I have a feeling I should just jump in and get started, but I'm curious if anybody has any specific advice (e.g., spend more on a brush, different soap, etc.)
Thanks
