Ok, my name is Steve, i live in seattle and am 50 years old...

i have always heard that straight razors shave a better shave than the hyped sixteen blade mach ones

i want to try this out without a significant out of pocket expense. I was thinking of the Monsieniour charles razor with replaceable blades.

I see very nice straight razors on e bay, but i don't think I'm up to the challenge of learning how to shave and sharpening a blade at the same time

Any newbie advise will be appreciated

thanks!
