New to Straight Razor Shaving
First of all I Just want to say this is a fantastic resource for Straight Razor Shaving. I just wish I had found this before ordering my first shaving supplies. I have always wanted to try Straight Razor shaving and everyone here at work seems to think I am nuts. So far despite ordering a few junk Zeepk razors I have changed my mindset about shaving from being a chore to something I really look forward to doing. I found trying to learn this skill to be a very enjoyable experience and all of the valuable information on this site just makes it even better. Being that I am on somewhat of a budget I have found and very nice used mug and bought and new boars hair brush and managed to secure a strop as well but somehow I doubt it's anything like the ones of Tony Miller's I have read about.
Does anyone have any suggestions other than waiting to see if I get a decent razor on ebay cheap from someone like altima55 or should I start out with the good razor brand list and examine local antique shops and auctions?
Also Lynn Abram's Video on shaving was such a valuable tool I have always been a more visual and hands on person and found this resource to be priceless.
Thanks to everyone for putting this site together hopefully in time I can persuade others in Greensburg IN to help keep this classic artform alive as well.
