Over the past year or so, I've managed to get quite a full beard going. I'm in my early 20's, so up until then my facial hair wasn't growing in quite as thick as I wanted it. Now that I've broken out of that phase and have a substantial beard going, I've spent the past few months getting well acquainted with proper beard care. The next step in rounding out my facial hair tool-belt would be getting into straight razors, and thus I ended up here :)
I've done a bit of research on straight razors, and I'm leaning towards acquiring a vintage one over a new one due to the cost/quality differences. I was looking to spend anywhere from $50-100 for the right razor to get me started out. If possible, I am open to suggestions as to where I can find a nice one in that range. From what I read, there's a variety of factors that determine whether or not a razor is good, and since I'm just starting out I figured I'd seek out advice from the elders. :D
I'm really looking forward to starting on this, so any other tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well!
