hi im loving this forum. ok so for xmas i ordered a straight razor off amazon, after watching gangs of new york and sweeney todd. sweeney todds blades fresh on my mind thought that would be cool. while awaiting delivery i put google to work researching the art of shaving. by the time my blade arrive i knew that it wasn't going ever going to be shave ready(didn't care just having a blade to play with was enough), i went to walmart and got a mug/brush/soap set, and i found out the point of the strop and made one from some leather i had laying around for education. so my knife arrives and i was ready to shave. since then Ive obviously nicked myself not that i minded(gangs of new york 'the blood stays on the blade'). ive shaved maybe 5 or 6 times since then. i have have learned all i can from this blade without becoming discouraged in straight razor shaving.

so my problem is this. im so broke it hurts. so its going to be a good while be for i can actually afford anything decent. I really want to enjoy this, i think its a bit of a life changing hobby and economic. i really want to just go shave right now, but i know it would be a waste of time. I don't want to lose interest so is there anybody that could possibly direct me to a truly cheeeaaap razor that is shave ready?
thanks any input is welcome
