I've lurked about for about 6 months or so and I'm ready to start SR shaving! I was looking at one of the kits from SRD or Vintage Blades. Is this the best way to go? I just like how you get everything in one shot. After reading a lot of material it looks like a carbon 6/8" is what I'm looking at. Are there any upgrades on the kits that are a must... 3" strop, better brush, soap type ect? I'm really excited and looking forward to endeavoring on a new journey.
