welcoome to SRP, first off there is nothing wrong with col conk soaps i happen to like them:D, as for a razor have you checked the classifieds here? there are many there at great prices and more often than not they are shave ready. that is where i usually go to for my razors also SRD and any of the other ads on the this website are reputable dealers, just make sure what ever you get is shave ready. again welcome

Welcome. Dude those Parkers just rock don't they? They sure leave the lowly shavette in the dust.

Well, anyway, welcome!
