Hi all, my experience in shaving is limited to a Gillette Fusion. I can use one blade almost daily for several months, and my skin still feels soft to the touch after shaving even with the same blade for so long. However, on closer inspection there's still a tiny bit of stubble left on my face. Fusion blades are hideously expensive, so I went looking for an alternative. I want to spend as little as possible on trying straight razor shaving, so that if I don't like it, I won't have lost too much money.

Whipped Dog Straight Razor Shaving Equipment

Does anyone have any experience in buying from this site, and would the $25 razor be any good? I realize you need a strop as well to keep it sharp, but I don't wan to buy one unless I actually plan to use the razor more than once.

Who can help?
