Hi all - my name's Lisa and I've never really used straight razor before.

I'm doing an event in about 6 months where I anticipate that I will likely shave 50 people at the event.

So, obviously, I need to start learning this now!!

I'm trying to decide on what to order. I'm not 100% certain that I'll have many "customers" after this event, so am not sure how much moola I'd like to invest.

Also, I'm basically lazy, so the stropping and honing, well would be fun for the event, I suppose, but it also seems labourious. (Yes, I'm also Canadian.)

Anyhow, for reasons stated above, as well as for hygienic reasons, I was leaning towards a disposable shavette, but after reading a few sites, I've heard that the disposables are a lot less forgiving and much more difficult to shave with than a regular blade.

Any insight greatly appreciated. I wanted to start practicing asap.
