Thread: Introducing myself

Hello Rasoio,

Welcome to SRP and good luck in the drawing!

If that doesn't work out, you can get a really good economical start at whippeddog.com. He specializes in low-price but good blades. They won't be pretty but they'll shave well.

For your budget, you'll have to go with a vintage blade to start well. I can't think of any brand-new razors under $70-80 that are a good risk. The cheapest brand-new and reliable razor is probably a Dovo Best Quality, but you can spend as little as $30 at whippeddog and have one that shaves as well.

His starter strop looks like a good deal, too.

You're ahead of the game in that you've at least had a professional straight razor shave, so you know how it should feel. That's worth a lot.

Best wishes.
