Thread: New and everything is "out of stock"

Vintage Blades has great turnaround. If you live close to Maryland you can get the order the day after it has been processed. They ship out orders on a daily basis from my understanding.

I'd look in the member sales section. I see a nice Kama and a nice Joseph Elliot. There's probably more in your price range too. I assume that you're currently considering the Dovo starter razor. Nothing at all wrong with that razor. I own one too. But its a little forgettable for my taste. Consider a vintage one as well. You might get more bang for your buck.

I've bought two razors from the classifieds and they are excellent razors.

I just received a straight razor set from Vintage Blades LLC and am very happy with it. I upgraded to the wider strop and got the XL black mug, and upgraded to the stainless steel stand. I spent a bit more than I originally intended, but it was everything I needed aside from my pre-shave and post-shave items of choice and some mineral oil for proper maintenance. All of which are very inexpensive and can be obtained from a local CVS (if you live in the states). Couldn't be happier. Prompt shipping, quick delivery, quality products and the SR was professionally honed by Lynn Abrams.

SRD has 2nd honing for free. That will come in handy you are learning to strop.
