HI!

Hello from an Aussie girl who loves now loves the thought of shaving her legs with a knife! Thanks to all your encouragement!

I'm the one who started the MORFTIFIED AT THE THOUGHT thread! And now I'm a member and am so very excited to get myself my very own straight razor!
AND I just WANTED TO SAY HELLO TO ALL THE WONDERFUL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THIS GREAT SITE!! YOUR ALL SUCH HELPFUL AND LOVELY PEOPLE!!

I can't wait to find a straight and get started!! My legs are dying to feel smooth again and I have not shaved with a disposable since I posted that thread because I just cannot bring myself to do it!! I hate the thought of having itchy irritated legs ever again!! and I cannot wait for my very first wet shave!
WOw this is quite a turn around but yes I am a straight razor girl because my husband has a DE and I do not want to use that (can't see the blade edge and that I do not like!!!)
I want a straight! And my very own one too!

So I'm looking at a all the options and wondering
GIRLS WHAT DO YOU THINK:
What I should look for in a razor that I hope to also do my legs as well as underarms and bikini line with?
I've heard 4/8 are best. Is that true?
is a round point better?
or how about weight?
and are there things I should avoid in a razor such as certain brands/ types etc?
my budget is pretty tight so are there any places I can look to find a good starter pack/deal?
Best soaps, strops and brushes you ladies like? Do we have different taste in these things to men?


So here goes for the journey! within the next few weeks I'll be wet shaving with a straight! yey! I'm so excited!!!!!
