Clueless!?

Hello!

So for the past few weeks my boyfriend has been mentioning how much he would love to try a straight razor. I figured that since Christmas is coming up, I'd surprise him with a starter kit! I've been reading the site a little and have gathered which brands are trustworthy and which are not and that I shouldn't spend a ton of money on a fancy blade or stromp but rather, spend the money on really nice cream. Does anyone have suggestions on where to buy? Are there manufacturer websites or should I look for a barber/beauty supply store? I live in Atlanta, but have no problem buying online. The only issue with buying online is that I'm on a Christmas deadline. Thank you very much for any and all advice!!

I'm a fan of StraightRazorDesigns and Classicshaving.

If someone sent me a jar of Castle Forbes shaving cream I'd be a happy guy. :) The vendors mentioned in the previous post carry that item.
