Thread: absolute beginner to straights, any chance of some help?

Hi Tink. Welcome on SRP. I understand the money problem - I am a student too. One of the main point is that you don't have necessarily to buy everything at once: for example, I first updated from my shaving foam to a shaving cream and brush, then traded my Gillette against a DE, then my DE against a straight - it was mainly because I have never really heard of DE before finding B&B and a straight before SRP but you got my point...

If you want to buy all the stuff at once, you can find - if I am not mistaken - good starting package/kit by Kenrup (maybe you can drop him a pm), or you can scan the classifieds for good and cheap second hand stuff. Don't forget to have a look also on other forum like B&B - for instance (they have often nice stuff on their BST).

Hope you will enjoy your new shaving experience. But beware, Razors acquisition disorder is usually a very fast coming disease, and very pricey.
