Thread: a beginner's razor

+1 to K37. You can get a Dovo best quality and upgrade to 3inch strop (easier to use) and be within you budget. Could get a whole starter set from there, but would go over budget. You can get a VDH soap, mug and brush set from Walmart, Target, or pharmacy for 20 bucks. Not great, but will serve the purpose. Razor and Strop I think is most important. There are lots of expensive soaps, creams, and brushes, but something like VDH or CM Bigelow are much less expensive but still functional. A beginners opinion...
