Hello, n8mon. Welcome to SRP!
Are you wanting to find a vintage or new razor? I suggest checking out the classifieds here at SRP if you want a vintage razor. If new check out the vendors that advertise here on the forum.

Thanks guys, I should have looked around the forum before asking, what I am finding, such a loaded question.

Tell us your budget. Do you want a nice used razor or a new one. Just be sure it arrives with a "Real Shave Ready Edge. If you purchase a new Razor from Straight Razor Designs, you will receive a razor with a "Real Shaving Edge" and treated with impeccable customer service.

A nice used razor purchased from an SRP member on the For Sale Forum will also come with a nice shaving edge.

Is it safe to use a vintage razor, I found a couple at some second hand stores locally

Ahhhhh beat two of them to the draw this time,,,,,

What sort of budget do you have?
aside from a razor you will need a few other items such as a strop, some soap and a brush as a minimum. There are all the extras like pre/post shave aftershaves etc too.
You can get set up for about $100 but it will limit your options.

Found a wade and butcher. Are they quality
