Hi everyone....I started shaving with a straight razor quite a while ago. My best friend wants to start as well, but he is a poor college student. Would any of you be able to make me some cheap reccomendations for me to pass along to him to get him started. He wants to purchase an adequate blade and strop and needs some guidance. If any of you have anything available that would be good for a newbie and would be able to pass on for cheap I could pass that info along to him too. He currently has a brush, soap, and a scuttle dish. He just needs the strop and blade. Any help would be great.
