With the economy the way it has been I have been banking on winning a contest to get my first razor. I got tired of waiting and started reading up on restoring an old one. I picked up an A.J. Jordan Old Faithful that was in pretty good shape. I was able to salvage the scales and the blade is cleaning up nicely.
My main question is more on accessories. I understand the basics of stropping and brushes etc but I was just wondering if anyone had any personal experience with budget strops and brushes and if so what they would recommend.
