I can understand the budgetary constraints of a student though. When you do decide to get into it, I would recommend getting as good a quality setup as you can afford.

Good luck!

I'm with Jimbo here. When I started, I bought a new Dovo, a new strop, etc...I still have them. The razor was honed by Lynn, so I knew it was me that wasn't using it correctly. When you buy new, you cut out the "is it the razor" possibility. The old saying, "You get what you pay for" comes into play. There are some deals to be had, but I'd wait until I had some experience under my belt. You can get a good razor, A Dovo for under a 100.00 new, A good strop, around 50.00 give or take, and you'll need a brush, and some type of mug, bowl, scuttle, etc...

Just stick with it until you get the hang of it. don't get discouraged as many do. It takes some time to learn, but it's so worth it. You'll get the closest shave ever....
