Hello Everyone...

I have been reading forums and threads for a month now and am getting close to buying a straight. If I buy a straight from Classic shaving that is pre honed by lynn and shave ready...and also get a good strop. How long can i survive with just the strop.

In other words i dont want to drop alot of cash in one sitting...so if i can go 2 months of shaving 2 to 3 times per week or do i need the hones right away.

or could i get by getting a paddle strop with some .5 paste...

just trying to by the least amount at a time so as not to break the bank...
