    Default Absolute minimum kit to start

    Hey all,

    I've used a DE razor for many years but finally decided to bite the bullet and try a straight instead.
    I picked up a Cyril R. Salter razor together with a strop from my local barber. The strop is a paddle, combination strop and honing stone.

    One of the reasons I decided to use a straight razor is to stop being reliant on replacement blades and all the other consumables that go with shaving.
    So the thing I'd like to know is, is the razor and strop / hone that I already have enough? Are the pastes I see advertised really necessary?
