Hey there, I just wanted to say thanks for all the help so far as I browse through these threads. I'm looking at picking up my first razor and would like a little direction. Thinking about how much money I've blown over the years of razor blades kinda makes me sick when the number comes to mind. I also like to learn skills that are meticulous and routine intensive. Ive been slowly switching over my routine and slowing down in the mornings. Switching over to soap and brush instead of canned cream helped me tremendously as I have pretty sensitive skin. I'm just ready to kick the disposables once and for all.

My question is not so much brand but how the razor is made. Id like to know if starting off with an older blade and then spending some money down the road when I don't suck at it is a better choice or to go ahead and start off with better gear because it will help me out in the end.

Thanks again for any advice
