Hello from sunny Arizona! I just turned 55 years old a month ago and still remember a week I spent with my grandfather over 40 years ago. He was first generation Dutch and was old school to say the least. I remember watching him shave with his straight razor and was mesmerized. I have been in the fast lane for a lot of years and have recently been looking for ways to slow down and smell the roses. I have had a couple of straight shaves from my barber and really enjoyed it, so I thought I would give it a try. The economy has dented everyones budget these days so instead of spending $75.00 - $100.00 a year on mutli bladed hype I would make an investment that will pay off for years to come. I am looking at the classifieds here and was wondering what would be a good razor for the 75 - 100 bucks that I currently spend. I would also need a strop etc. Any help will do. You can email me at [email protected]

Thanks,

Chip
