    When the budget is tight, up to three about razors: go for well honed previously used blades
    with sound scales. One good place to find these is the Classified above. Larry's pages look
    like there are a number of better than average razors that fit my requirement for good steel and sound scales.

    After that what ever floats your boat.

    About three razors gives you a working rotation
    with one extra to practice honing and stropping on
    without risking your 'shaver' for today. Or one in transit
    between you and your honemaster.

    A good vintage no name razor can have steel as good
    as any new razor.

    The three new blades you list and two vintage blades
    all look like good razors.

    Where are you with your strop?
    A strop is used each day and while an expensive one is not
    needed a quality one is a good thing and lasts a long time.
