I need something completely independent, that will last me almost a lifetime and is enjoyable to use. I think straight razors are simply amazing. Not only that they have a rich history, they are a great example of superb craftsmanship and human ingenuity. Also they look cool and i like the fact, that not everybody can use them since they require a skillful hand. There forth i have decided to take a plunge in to the world of straight razor shaving. I am only a beginner and i have yet to buy all the shaving gear i need that is why i came to this forum, to ask you guys for some help and advice. I recently aquired a used straight razor and i will open a new thread with pictures of it so you can tell me if it is any good or it is just garbage :)
