Thread: How's She Goin'?

Hi folks ; first post here on SRP, but I've been lurking for some time now. I'm a student from Eastern Canada, and I'm interested in all things vintage, including my hairstyle, which is currently a substantial pompadour, grease and all.

In my search to further increase my vintageness, I came across SRP while doing some research. I've been fascinated with straight razors for quite awhile, and I've decided it's time to commit and buy my first razor.

I've read Lynn's Introduction post, and had a look as several of the classifieds, but to be honest, it all seems rather confusing; I'm looking for something that will be reasonably priced, give me a good shave, and be comfortable in mmy rather large mitts. I'm also looking for recommendations on strops, creams and brushes; I won't worry about a hone just yet. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Cheers!
