So, today I just accepted that I am not going to drop into a antique shop here and find the perfect razor all cleaned up for a fantastic deal. Hey one can dream right, and I will not stop looking every time I am in a shop for one.

Now the reality, I want a razor which is affordable and in shave ready condition. I would prefer a vintage razor as I love the idea that something old gets a new life. I also decided I want to only buy from a reputable seller, and preferably someone from SRP, as I want to support fellow passionate razor nuts not just someone who wants to make a buck.

And now the bad, I have been trying to keep an eye on the classifieds here and I have 2 problems. First, I seem to always miss the affordable shave ready “newbie” type razors. Second, knowing exactly which razor that comes up would be good for me to start out with.

If you have something you want to part with to help a fellow who has caught the razor bug or have any other words of wisdom, please let me know.

Thank you all,
Jeremy
