Loved the intro, man. I think you're well on your way to becoming a full time straight razor nut like the rest of us. I think even now, with you just using a razor on the neckline, you're leaps and bounds ahead of most people. The neck (at least for me) is one of the hardest parts to shave smoothly because of the different directions of hair growth. So if you're getting THAT part down right now, you're way ahead of the game!

I look forward to when you can get fully set up with a nice razor and strop! They aren't cheap, but I recommend what others have said: check the Classifieds here on the forum, or pick up a razor from WhippedDog.com. My buddy Matt (GreenLightJerky) bought two of them over there, and paid like $60.00 for both combined. They may not be as pretty as some of the newer ones, but they're shave ready and better than most that I've seen on other sites.
Great First Post LUSST. Welcome to SRP!!
Larry at Whipped dog sells decent no frills stuff at a decent price allowing people to get started without breaking the bank!
$30-45 for a good sharp straight and the poor mans strop is $19 i think. Great stuff to start on with out worrying about damaging the GOOD stuff.
