    Welcome to SRP.

    You should find this Shopping list for beginners - Straight Razor Place Wiki useful. It contains a link to Buying a beginner's set on a budget - Straight Razor Place Wiki which you might also find helpful. Everything you need to know about shave readiness is explained in the FAQ.

    Good luck, and keep us posted.

    Regards,
    Robin

    FYI
    trolling = making intentional provocative posts
    lurking = reading a forum without registering

    Don't take any examples from movies, Sweeney had the bad habit of nicking his customers. =D

    Welcome to SRP...

    Follow the advice, as well as the links provided in the previous posts, especially robin's. They will provide you with the essential information needed to make an informed buying decision.

    If you're on a tight budget, check out the SRP "Classifieds" for a vintage str8 razor that is either in good, great or excellent condition. And make sure that it is described as professionally honed or shave ready in the ad.

    Last, but not least, don't be fooled by seemingly attractive deals on ebay--especially Zeepk razors or combination razor & strop sets.

    Take care. Hope that your foray into the world of str8 razor shaving will be as enjoyable as it has been for the rest of us here at SRP.

    my bad, definately meant lurking.

    and i don't think i'll study the technique from any movie. ive saw a few videos on correct practices and i think Mr Depp didn't quite study up on the subject.....

    i dont think they make a styptic pencil big enough for one of those nicks either.....
