Hey everyone,

I'm Rick and I have been thinking about using a straight razor for a while now. I've been looking into different starter kits for awhile. I saw a very interesting deal online but doing a bit of browsing I found this forum and found out it wasn't such a good deal. It was on vintagestraightrazors.com for about $80 that included a razor, leather and cloth strops,brush and bowl with soap. I'm hoping for something of good quality, but I'm not looking forward to spending $400+ just to carve up my face like a thanksgiving turkey. I've looked on shavenation (Geo's site) whippeddog and vintage. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions to get a good long lasting razor with at least a leather and cloth strop. I already have a mug and brush. If geo's dovo deal is good let me know. Red Straight Razor Starter Set 5 Items Dovo Straight Razor Set Folding Hone Stone Strop Leather Linen Carbon Steel Red Father's Day Fathers Dad Kit [STRAIT/RAZOR/SET/5PC/RED] - $164.99 : Shave Nation - Shaving Supplies Sorry if I ramble, my thoughts can be a little unorganized.

Thanks for the help,
RickyBobby
