Frustrated too. I've read the beginners articles as recommended. Lots of great useful information. Yet I still do not feel sure about making a purchase. I notice a Gold Dollar for sale with a strop for $38 in the classified, but I dont see that name on the either the Good or Stay Away from list and I wonder is that to little to spend? I also see the sets and individual pieces on SRD. Looks great, but should I be spending $160 to get started before even knowing if I like shaving this way?
I'm guess at this point I'm going to make myself a cup of coffee and just keep reading.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
