Hello SRP!

Long time lurker, first time poster here!

I became interested in straight razor shaving about a year and a half ago but found the price a bit prohibitive for a real quality set of instruments. I asked my sister, who lives in Japan, to look for me next time she went on a shopping trip, and she said reported about the same prices for a real quality blade there. But, she found these disposable razors at a great price and sent me a couple boxes containing 5 shavers each to give it a shot before committing.

It's been about a year since my first shave with one of those blades and I'm finding that I love it every time, but I've grown tired of depending on my sister's care packages for razors.

I purchased what appears to be a decent beginner's set on eBay to see how I do with a proper style straight razor with a folding handle and all that. At $46.89 after shipping for 2 razors, strop, hone, badger brush, mug, and a puck of soap, it didn't seem to be too bad of an investment. I'm kind of a do-it-yourself kinda guy so I'm looking to do all the honing myself and didn't want to risk brutalizing a $100.00+ razor due to inexperience.

I am wondering however if anyone here has heard of, or maybe even used, anything by this brand Zeepk? The blades are full hollow ground carbon steel which I remember reading is one of the easier blades to hone, so it seemed like a decent way to get started.

I'm looking forward to trying what I hope is a bit more akin to a real straight razor than those disposable blades I mentioned, and so far thanks to the advice found here on SRP it's been going great!
