I’ve been shaving with a straight razor for about a month now and I am enjoying the shaves I’m getting. Previously I was shaving with a double edge razor and thought I was getting a close shave then I tried a vintage straight and wow what a difference. I only cut my self one time but I continued to use my straight razor. It is a wonderful feeling to use the same type of razors my great grandparents would use.

I have decided to keep using a straight razor, now I need advice on a good set of stones. There is so many choices out there and is hard to make a choice. What I have been reading I should get something to set the bevels, refresh the edge, lapping, and a polishing stone. I have about $200.00 in my budget to get started any pointers on which hones I should buy would be appreciated.
