    Welcome to SRP. Good luck in finding that first razor. There are lots of things to consider and if you look, most of your questions will be answered here in the forum. There's always someone around to point you in the right direction.

    Regards - Walt

    Welcome, glad to have you on the forum!!

    I was going to tell you that new razors are pretty scarce right now. It seems Dovo and Boker are having some production lags and are out of stock most places.

    I was going to recommend the classifieds here, but, you're ahead of me!!

    Some other excellent reading and info are linked below in my sig. line. The wiki and Beginner's Tips.

    Again, Welcome!!

    Regards,

    Howard

    Sweet! I hope I'm doing everything correctly so far!

    The guy who I bought the razor from is really nice and is really willing to help out however he can. I'm really liking this place.

    I'll be sure to read some more!

    Here's a link to what I just bought, what do you guys think?

    That's a beauty. I'd looked at that one but eventually got a French point. Didn't want to take any chances. LOL You did good!

    I have the SRD hanging strop, but recently purchased their modular paddle strop - it's great. I think it is much easier to strop on and the ability to change the stropping surfaces is a big plus. Good luck with your new hobby!
