So I'm 19, when I was little I'd always watch my great grandfather shave with a straight razor but he passed away almost 8 years ago and all of his old things are gone. I want to learn how to shave with a straight razor and I have no idea where to go, who to ask or what to buy. I read the newbie FAQ but I just became more confused. I sure don't want to purchase a $200 razor. I looked on ebay and saw this

B&B GOLD LEATHER STROP STRAP WITH A STRAIGHT RAZOR - eBay (item 170401059182 end time Dec-29-09 17:47:35 PST)


However, I'm not sure if its a legit razor to learn on. Can I get any feedback? I'd appreciate it very much!
