In my shaving kit, I have a Böker Extra Hollow Ground straight razor, an Illinois Strop with handle, a Norton 4K/8K combo and Magnum 1500 honing stones, a Böker Badger brush and L'Occitane Shaving Cream and Soap. Most of them you can buy them at Casa Boker.

Now I understand! I'm feeling the urge to get me my kit now, unfortunately I don't have that much money. I'm thinking of a Dovo Best Quality 5/8 Full hollow, a SRD 2'' latigo strop, the norton 4/8 K and some CrOx. I think I will have to save $$. And, have you ever ordered straights from american distributors? I'm thinking of that, but I'm concerned about import policies in Mexico, customs and restrictions. What do you think about that?

Well, sometimes I buy at Amazon and sometimes I buy at eBay, all depends of the direct seller and where it is made the product you'll buy. With the NAFTA agreement, all goods that are "Made in USA" doesn't have an import tax. If the straight razor was used and is not a brand new, doesn't matter where was made, there are no restrictions.
