Hi all newbie from Bolton,Manchester had my 1st straight shave tonight was satisfying to say the least and very therapeutic, I bought a cheap tool with changeable blades the razors called haryali. Now I have used it I would like to purchase a more quality straight razor any recommendations thanks guys [emoji13]

Hi and welcome. Dont buy cheap you will end up with something unusable. I brought a hiryali straight to start with and it was complete junk. Buy from a reputable vendor who hand hones to shave ready and get a decent strop. If you haven't yet get soap and brush as well. Good luck and any questions feel free to ask
Thanks got soap and brush, only bought the cheap to find if I could actually do it, have you any sites to buy fromQuote:

Welcome to the forum.
I have not used but the invisible edge has had good reviews and apparently supply truly shave ready blades. Maybe check to see if there are any local mentors they could help more.Quote:

Welcome to SRP!! +1 on using the Classifieds here... If you see something you like then contact that person via PM and see what kind of deal can be struck as you just never know what is possible until you ask/try. :)
