Thread: Newbie Shopping List

Here is the sticky.

I would rather get a Straight Razor Wet Shaving Set from SRD or even something from the classifieds here than any "sight unseen deal" from anybody.

+1 for Whippeddog.com

Larry's a stand up guy, and you'll get a good, serviceable shave ready starter razor, a strop and pasted balsa for about 1/3 the cost of an Edelwiess, as lovely as they are. Once you've played with that for a bit, then invest in the shiney pretties, because.. lets be honest... you're gonna trash the strop, maybe muck up the edge of the razor on the strop, use the paste way before you (should) need to, and use it too much when you do, and a symphony of other stops and starts down the line.

Larry's hitting a rough patch at the moment, but he's got the rest of the company set up to deal with it, and he's still pounding out orders. In any case, welcome aboard!

I started with the Straight Razor Wet Shaving Set; it set me up well and also, getting the razor from SRD assured me that my razor was shave ready. A person will not go wrong with SRD sets; when that set arrives, YOU ARE READY TO ROLL!!
