I have been considering switching to a straight razor for a while since I am running low on the crazy multi blades for the vibrating thing that leave me irritated. So today when I was out with the lady and came across this guy I couldn't resist.

Its a Robeson Sure Edge, from what I've read it was made 1907-1910. Seemingly all good reviews and for $45 I think a good deal. As a beginner at this I don't have anything but know I need a strop and brush at the very least. I'm also planning on sending it to Lynn Abrams to have it honed as the edge is dull and I don't have the tools to do it right the first time. I've spent the last 2 hours reading the site but what am I forgetting or words of wisdom do you think I need?

Thanks
