Would like to join up

Hey all,

I'm a newcomer from B&B. I've been wetshaving with a Merkur HD for a while now, and would like to get into Straight razor shaving. Can anyone recommend a good "newbie" kit that includes the essentials, at a good price (as in as cheap as possible...starving Art major here).

I already have all the wetshaving stuff (brush, mug, soap, cream, etc). I just need a razor and whatever goes along with that.

Thanks!

Tyler

First let me welcome you to the forums. Anything and everything you may need , you will find here.As far as your question, best bet would be to talk to Kenrup. He has starter sets at great prices to get you up and going. Check HERE and drop him a PM. Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks for the welcome! I just sent Kenrup a PM.

The Well-Shaved Gentleman also offers nice starter kits.

Tony Miller's strops are really superb, sort of the standard that other new strops are judged by.

He offers a starter kit with razor and strop. It's how I got started.

It appears the Well-Shaved Gentleman is currently on sabbatical. According to his site, he is holding off on providing razors and strops for the time being.

Are there any other recs beside? I have contacted him, and he has some available, but I would like to see if any others are out there before I buy from him

Thanks
