Although they agreed to fund me they are not enthusiastic about spending a lot of money so after reading through all of the wiki and FAQ's i have assmebled a fairly complete list of seemingly decent beginner products which i could use to experience straight-shaving.


Possible Razor = $10.99 ***Looking for particular feedback and suggestions***

Strop Beginners Strop = $20

Cream = $11

soap/Brush/bowl = $11.99


this is what i look like right now after reading soo much everywhere (althought Straightrazorplace has been by far the most helpful)

the part of my lineup that currently most concerns me is the choice of SR but there are so many out there, and i have a tough time wading through all of the garbage so i am turning here for help

thanks for all you responses and help

Congrats.

That razor uses disposable DE-blades, you won't need a strop for it.
If you wish for a real straight, keep an eye on the classifieds and vendors, not the ebay (until you have several months of experience).

Your other set looks ok.

You probably seen the guides linked in my signature
