Thread: Hi everybody

Hi I'm new and look forward to getting help/advise from some of the vets. I tried out a straight like 6 years ago but I didn't stick to it. I plan on sticking with it this time. I'm tired of not getting a good shave and when I do get one it's because I paid someone. Any help on where to find everything would be appreciated.

Buy in bulk.

Straight Razor Designs has a monthly special that will get you everything you need, brandy spanking new if that's your thing. They will also give you a second honing on the house, which is quite nice.

I would love a new one but I'm on a very tight budget right now. In a few months I'll consider a new one but thanks for the the info.

If a tight budget is the case, don't forget to check the classifieds. Whippeddog will treat you right but if you spend time poking about the classifieds you may be able to find a better deal for a razor and/or strop.

welcome! you'll find everything you need about straight razor shaving on this website.

Take a look at the "beginner's Wiki" on this website. There are several articles, and they have plenty of information that will:

a) get you started, and

b) help you improve your technique so that you can give yourself a nice shave.

If your budget is tight, I think Whipped Dog Straight Razor Sales is your best bet. Larry's razors are reasonably priced, and the "Poor Man's Strop Kit" has both leather and pasted strops.
