I was looking at the Dovo Best Quality Black 6/8" Straight Razor Set or I was looking at Dovo Best Quality Black 6/8" Straight Razor & Strop Set on SRD if i got the second one i would also get the Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set with the bowl, brush and soap.
The brush would be used until I can get a better one and as a travel brush.

I was just wondering which one would be a better set up for a complete beginner. Im leaning toward the razor and strop set with the VDH set.
