Hi Guys,


I've always wanted to try shaving with a straight razor, I went to my local shaver shop to find out how much they cost and they told me it would cost 200AUD for the razor. So I bought a wahl shavette for 15 dollars to try it out first. The sticky on first time using straight razor was really helpful I thought the razor was faulty when I tried using it the first time, now I'm following the advice on this forum and just taking it slow not trying to do a whole shave in one go.

Anyways I just wanted to ask a quick question about some razors I've seen on ebay going for about 30-40 AUD, brand names like Jico and Imperial. Would these razors be okay to start out with for practising stropping/honing etc.?
