    Yes, I was thinking of hone wear in terms of selecting a razor. I like the idea of getting a vintage razor, more for the interest of it than anything else. If I'm going to keep my eye out for one of those I need to be able to at least have a small idea of what is and isn't an okay blade. I don't count on being more accurate than that.

    Once I get a razor then I can start practicing patience on my face.

    There's nothing wrong with that, but like I said before, just be sure that it's from a reputable source... That's part of why everyone recommends the classifieds here. You can get good vintage blades, shave ready and in good cosmetic shape to boot. You will probably pay more than on eBay, but you eliminate all risk of a bad razor coming your way.

    If you can get a mentor to do it for you, it is worth getting them to have a look at your potential purchase, especially if its from eBay, I wish I had done that the first time I bought a razor.

    There's a nice Case on the classifieds now for $35, comes honed. Now that's a good price point to get into straights...
