Hello,

I am ready to take the plunge and get a straight razor. I have been using disposable razors for far too long and I can't stand throwing all that plastic in the trash. I have relatively fine hair, sensitive skin, and tend to get ingrown hairs (the more "high-tech" the razor, the worse it seems to get).

I am not looking for a cheap starter kit that I will want to upgrade in 6 months. I also don't want any kind of expensive collectors item. I want a good, reliable, solid setup that is tried and true and will serve me well for many years. With that in mind, what would you recommend for a razor, strop, and hones? (I do plan on purchasing Lynn's DVD as well)

Thanks for your help!
