Hey, I am brand spanking new to this, and well i bought a "shave ready" razor on ebay, but it doesn't seem all that sharp. I have yet to buy a strop or even a brush. I'd love some recommendations as to stores in the area where I could get my razor looked at and buy the rest of my supplies. If online is really the best place, I'd understand, but I'd prefer not trying to hone my first SR.
