Hi and welcome. Either razor will be fine and both are good quality. A 3 inch strop is helpful when starting out and as said something with medium draw is best to start with. Do plenty of reading or a search and you will find answers to most of your questions but if not feel free to ask. Good luck

Can you just use Ed

Welcome to the forum Travis. The Boker King Cutter is a great razor to start with. As for the strop, a 3" is easier to use than a 21/2" as you won't need to learn to x-stroke, but as already advised, don't spend a fortune on your first. You will almost definitely nick it, possibly so badly you'll ruin it. The most important thing... Enjoy your SR journey! Good luck.

Welcome to SRP
If your ever in the Twin Cities come on over and we can have some honing sessions. I have had about 7 new guys come over since January and helped them get started with honing/stropping etc.
I will send you my contact details via PM. ( Look at the Notifications on the top right of this screen)
