Hey Everyone,

My name is Daniel, 26, student writer living in Arizona. I've been pondering about getting into straight razor shaving for a while now and have been scouring the web for ways to get started (kits and all that). This site has been a huge help.

I'm still searching for a good starter blade and strop. I almost bought a Krieger. Eek. Thank goodness I found this forum before I made that decision or else I might have been turned off to straight razors. I thought the low price-tag was a bit skeptical.

Even then, I'm looking for something that would help my get into this art form without breaking my bank entirely. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm eager to get started and have decided not to shave again until I get myself a straight razor (So please hurry with the advice!!)

All the best,

Daniel
