Thread: Introduction and a Question

+1 with Sydney! Also, have you looked through the classifieds? Most all the razors there are truly shave ready and are very reasonably priced. You will probably want to look at getting a round point. Spike points can be lethal to your ears and nose when you are first starting. Plus, you can normally receive your razor quickly and start shaving much faster than trying to hunt one down on ebay or antique shops. And you will likely have to prep work on it (like polishing, etc) before you send it for honing. Save yourself the time and effort and get one from the classfieds, or a starter kit from someone like, Kenrup (a member here at SRP) who sells good equipment at very reasonable prices. You not only need your razor, you will also need a strop, and shaving soap/cream and brush. Don't get suckered into buy too many things too early. You don't need $500 worth of honing stones at the beginning. Learn and ask questions. Only then will you be educated enough to purchase other tools and goodies, and know which type and size razor really suits you the best...
