Hello everyone,
I just found this community in hopes that I will find helpful advice and/or information from the experienced straight razor shavers out there. I am looking to get started using a straight razor. It seems to be the general consensus that I should look for an already honed, shave ready razor, and worry about getting a hone and learning that process at a later time.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to razors to buy? or is anyone in the Troy/Albany NY area looking to sell a razor for a reasonable price? I am not looking for anything fancy that will break the bank, as my budget is fairly limited. I imagine that I would also need a strop. Any recommendations as to an inexpensive one that will still get the job done?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
