Thread: Anyone got a razor for a newb?

I'm really looking forward to trying out a straight razor. I've read as much as I can on the subject int he past few days and went to a local knife shop to see what they had. The cheapest razor they had was $60, and a strop for $40, which at this point in time is way too much money for me. I don't know of any old-school barbers around here though I'm keeping my eyes peeled for garage sales.

If anyone here has a razor, strop, etc they'd be willing to part with relatively cheap <$20 or so I'd be interested. By the way I'm in Savannah, GA, in case any of you know a good place to go to find one around here.

I was looking on ebay and sometimes I thought I found a decent one, but being a newb and trying to determine quality from ebay pictures is pretty tough.

Thanks!

Check www.billysblades.com or http://shop.writerferret.com/ Those sites are owned by SRP members and have some good deals, probably not less than $20.00 though. You may want to create a post in the buy sell trade forum as well.

Ok I'll repost it there. Thanks for the info.

Shoot me your name and address in a PM and I'll send you a razor to get you started at no cost to you. The only thing I ask, is that you pass it on to another new person when you are able to afford a better razor.

Have fun.

Ooops, wrong window

Looks like Lynn went one up on Joe and I don't think you'll do any better unless someone pays you to take one of his razors

Well, you can't beat an offer like that.
Now check out www.thewellshavedgentleman.com
