What kind of newbies we talking here? I mean, technically I've only been here a week or so (a very active week haha). I'm one of those that jumped in head first and bought all the stuff needed to shave daily, so I'm good as far as the daily needs go. Got it all from Tony. But if I am "new" enough still and I had the opportunity to win a paddle strop or hone, or even a nicely honed razor to add to the now one razor rotation, then I would definitely enter. My only reservations are that I am not one of those who doesn't really needs anything (though Im sure a pasted strop or hone are going to be needed soon) and I don't know that I would want to take away from the chance of someone else getting what they need.
