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!
