How many straights to begin with?
I know that just about every veteran on the site has multiple straights. As a Noobie looking to make my very first purchases ever, does anybody think there is a downside to getting just one razor to begin with, as I am on a student's budget? Can I get by with just one blade or will this be a problem? I plan on getting one of Tony's beginner kits with the classic black 5/8 dovo - anybody else purchase this? How does it work?
I have been informed that if I am not planning on using pasted strops to fine tune a blade in between honings, I will be looking at honing the blade every 1.5-2 months...Is this time frame if I am using the blade every singel day?
Thanks in advance for any help you guys.
