Hey everyone, ive got a few questions and thoughts i would appreciate some advice with.

so i mentioned when i joined i was on a limited budget to purchase my first SE razor and bits. after some contemplation and thought ive adjusted my budget a bit and set my sights on the first Starters Kit from here

Shaving Starter Kits

does anyone have any other suggestions or recomendations on a starters "kit" for that sort of money in terms of razor and bits? im happy to get this one but if there are others i should consider i would like to before jumping in.

Ive also done enough reading on here to know that im likely to be the main factor in the razor going blunt quicker than it would normally. i also know i will need to get it honed at some point to keep it sharp whilst paying to-do this for a while is acceptable i would ideally like to be able to-do this myself in the future (especially if i end up owning a few SE Razors).

would someone say that buying a cheap ebay SE and some of the more generally used hones to practice with would be a good idea??? i know that due to quality and a lot of variables with cheap razors i may never get a good sharp edge but id prefer to kill a £10 razor practicing on how to hone than destroying my pride and joy new SE that i paid a lot more for?

i mean whilst i may never get a Dovo quality edge on it i should eventually be able to get a good working edge to let me progress onto my own razors? what do you guys think?

any suggestion or recomendations on this would be appreciated.
