Hey guys,

Thank you for your replies. All of them well very helpful and original to say the least.

The price of my package is kind of high because I literally fell in love with two stainless steal Dovo Razors.

One of them being the Dovo Ivory Micarta, 5/8" Stainless Steel Straight Razor and the other the Dovo Perlex, 5/8" Stainless Steel Straight Razor. I had chosen a cheap small pure badger Vulfix brush (25 bucks or so), but the gentleman at the store advised me to get instead a Rooney silvertip small brush worth about 80 bucks. On top of that I have to get the Dovo Russian leather strop, and I already got the nice Dovo leather traveling case for the two razors as I will be going overseas soon.

I'm buying 90% of the items described above from one of the companies that advertises on this website, and I have done plenty of research when it comes down to prices.

I feel encouraged by all your replies and now I'm eager to try shaving with a straight razor!

Best,
