Hi everyone,
just figured i would stop by and say my hellos, as i am looking for some advice.

Im looking to switch away from safety razors and move to a straight edge, but my impressions to begin with was i would need a razor and strop. but after reading some posts on here there's talk of Honing and polishing and a lot of things that boggle my brain.

im not one for patience and almost run off to ebay tonight to buy a SE razor until i came to my senses, i dont have a huge budget (£50 - £60) at a push for now as i have not long moved into a new house and money is tight.

can anyone suggest a nice simple razor for this sort of money in the UK? (no offense meant but ive never been happy ordering from overseas)

i was thinking about getting a SE that has replaceable blades, like the ones that you can get off ebay to give me a start and get some shaving practice with but ive not really seen anything said about how good these are.

i also found this on ebay,

MGO Straight Razor with wooden handle Wet shaving 06 on eBay (end time 04-Feb-11 10:46:32 GMT)

i know its not that expensive and i should not expect a lot but wondered if its worth getting as a "practice" razor, using it to get some shave skill with and when money allows for hones, strops etc to use for sharpening practice.

any comments or suggestions would be really appreciated as im really lost with all this and dont want to make too many mistakes.

thanks everyone

Kris
