I had been entertaining the idea of making the transition to a DE or a straight for a few months now. To my surprise, as a wedding gift I received a straight razor that just so happened to be made by GD Buckingham. Luckily I did a little research and it popped up on this forum with a dedicated thread to how bad it was. I haven't even made a pass with it yet and after reading I quickly became confused with all of the different honing, stropping, and razor choices. Since I was his best man and it was my gift I am just going to have it framed as a nice memento. My question is, without a money restriction, what is the best way to get started if I am going to go all in? I would plan on learning all of the proper techniques in sharpening and maintaining a proper blade.
