    I started with SRD. Starting there is a wise choice. Great place. That said I did also just receive my Revisor from Germany. I have shaved twice comfortably off the factory edge. You would have to pick up all the other necessities individually if you go with Revisor and you do save a little by purchasing the kits from SRD.

    Hi and welcome. As long as it's shave ready from a reputable dealer you can't go wrong. My preference is for Vintage blades. Much more variety and easily available. Good luck

    I usually use ebay and antique stores. Not the best for beginners unless you know what to look for. The classifieds here always have great buys and true accurate descriptions from people who know razors
