Thread: IS STRAIGHT RAZOR SHAVING FOR ME?

Welcom to SRP!

As mentioned above all you really need is a razor and a good strop, Tony Miller comes to mind, but there are others out there too, the brush&soap&creams can be used with DE or even a cartridge razor. So it should be possible to keep the startup cost fairly low, the balsa setup with paste mentioned above should keep you in business for a long time, and by the time your razor needs to be honed, you should have been able to make up your mind if this is something you want to do, and then start looking into honing and getting a second or third razor.
