Thread: Brand new to straight blades...should i purchase this?

Welcome, I'm still learning but I'm pretty sure that will be a good razor. Yes, you will need the necessities Strop, brush, shave soap and something to work it in. Check out the WIKI it will give you a ton of information for beginners. Do not get disappointed when you struggle with your first shaves. Remember straight shaving is so much more than scraping the whiskers off your face it's an art and as I saw today with practice it will become the smoothest shave you can have. Enjoy your shaves take the time for yourself.
