I'm going to buy a straight razor pretty soon. I found these 2 kits online here in canada both made by Thiers Issard but I have a few questions before ordering.
1. What kit would be best?

2. Will I be able to get the razor shave ready with what is included in the kit?

kit # 1 Thiers Issard Complete Straight Razor Set Black, Save $35

Kit # 2 Thiers-Issard Straight Razor Set w Double-Sided Box Strop, Save $22

Thanks.
