Thread: Newbie looking for a first razor

i can't give you any real recommendations as far as what brand, but this site covers those anyways. i will say that i was in your exact same situation about 6 months ago and i can't go back. i have had to shave with a Mach 3, or whatever is in the drawer that my girlfriend uses on her legs, and it sucked. i used a DE also and it was better but not nearly as good and the straight, and i am still learning. i also like the fact that i am not throwing razors away constantly.

also i looked into some kits that seemed like a pretty good deal in the vendors corner. they are done by Kenrup. if i didn't already have 2 razors i would have already ordered one of the kits.

You can contact Kenrup as the previous poster said, or check the classifieds here and ask a lot of questions of prospective sellers here, unlike ebay and elsewhere, you are pretty much garunteed a decent razor if you buy from one of the SRPmembers, everyone here has a reputation to protect and not a product line to promote, a very good site, with good people.

I would third the recommendation for Kenrup. He is a reliable member of the site. Depending on what he has in stock, you can get a combination of a razor, strop, and a brush for a very reasonable price.
