newbie with some money to speeeeend!
Hey all so my electric shaver died and I decided to go straight. Normally I wouldn't spend as much on an introduction spree but since i got an unexpected photo gig that is sticking 2 G's in my pocket I figure that like photography or other hobby "getting good steel in the beginning is worth it in the long haul"
That being said I also figured I would help out the local economy by supporting the forum users and buy from here. That also being said I really know very little about the topic and so I thought I would ask some pointers on which of the classified ads would be best for me. I was REALLY looking at this one here 5/8 Otto Deutsche 'Hans' (soligen – Bresduck) Extra Hollow squarepoint. - Straight Razor Place Classifieds main reason being is that it is sexy. I am an artist and that just looks nice haha. But how would it be for a beginner?
Others that caught my eye were
Brookes & Crookes, Sheffield, England. - Straight Razor Place Classifieds
and
Eugen Hoppe, Aevos-Special, Solingen. - Straight Razor Place Classifieds
Whadda you think? Any insight would be much appreciated and if you have other websites to point me to that would be cool. I also would need to get a strop/cream or soap along with other beginning essentials one would need so if there is a good starters kit that you could point me to that would be wonderful.
Ok I am getting close to falling asleep so I am going to be done with questions and let the answers to the above questions be answered :)
Thanks for any help offered and have a wonderful day/night!
PS
I would like to spend no more then $300-350 on a beginners kit so any pointers with that price range in mind would be grand!
