Hi Bud, very cool I have yet to meet up with nun2sharp and he's offered several times to show me some stuff, I need to make some time to meet up with you guys soon. Some lessons in stropping would be a lot better in person than reading about it.
Sorry Serg didnt mean to Hi Jack here.

Hi Serg, welcome to SRP!
the fun thing about straight shaving is that you can do it on almost any budget.
My cheapest razor is a $7 razor (it cost me more to sand it and to get it sharpened) and my most expensive one was $90 excluding shipping. additional you would need a strop and eventualy something to touchup your razor.

Thanks for the welcome gentlemen. I think I'll post over in the classifieds for a str8. I thought I would have to spend for at least a Dovo Best or TI Le Grelot (then have it sent to be sharpened), and then for a strop at over $60. And Mike no worries, us newbies have to stick together!

There are a few people you can pickup a cheap good strop from The Well Shaved Gentleman, Heirloom Razor Strop Company, Straight Razor Shaving Supplier Tony has a practice strop and here, RupRazor - Strops ken has some good stuff and some good starter stuff. As well the classifieds is a great place to get a good razor for cheap. But you can never go wrong with a dovo. There are many vendors listed hear on this site look at the bottom of the forum page, there is a spot for vendors. Welcome to SRP and I hope you find what your looking for.

I hear ya man, You might already know this but if you buy a razor from Straight Razor Design it will come Shave ready. I bought mine from them and didnt buy a strop because I wanted to see if I was going to like shazing with a straight and it turns out that I really like it, but now I cant shave again untill I order a strop from Tony Miller.
