Thread: help purchasing kit

the difficulty in buying a new straight razor is in finding a trusted source for a truly "shave ready" blade

many people starting up buy vintage blades honed by someone they trust, and that's how I started

hopefully someone will chime in with names of trusted sellers of new kits or someone you can buy a nice blade from and create your own kit with some quality soap, a brush and a strop - I can't recommend anything new since I made my soap and brush and strop
