Hello this is my first time posting here. I've been reading up on straight razors for a few months now, everything from honing to what brushes work best. I broke down and bought a cheap starters kit because I don't have the money for anything else. I plan on just adding more expensive bits and pieces as I go along.
The first thing I would like to buy is a nice Razor obviously. The kit I got comes with a junk one but I have a spare $50 to drop on a good one. I was hoping to get some advice on what to buy. I know I want a full hollow Square tip but beyond that I have no idea. (I need the square tip because I have a goatee. )
I actually just put a bid on a Geo.Wostenholm, pipe. No guarantee I'll win it but it looked like a good deal to me. Geo.Wostenholm Antique Straight Razor,Pipe - eBay (item 130286329252 end time Feb-13-09 17:30:22 PST)
any advice would be appreciated.
