SRP,

Thanks for all of the information and service you provide. A life-long (well... since puberty ) wet-shaver, I have been plagued with sensitive skin coupled with a tough, wiry beard. Quite the unfortunate combination. The space-aged cartridge razors have never done the trick but due to lack of time or effort or investigation or some combination of the three, I never found a another alternative until I stumbled upon this site.

So what I am looking for is an inexpensive (under $50) beginner's straight razor. I have already read all of Lynn's newbie forum posts and I am ordering the other essentials (strop, soap, etc), but I would like some pointers or the links themselves to some good deals on a quality straight. If you are in the classifieds and you have a good suggestion, please let me know and I'll take your word for it.

I appreciate the clicks!

Oggie
