Thread: Good day from Virginia

Wow...information overload.
As with anything we start out being ignorant and after much time we acquire knowledge and information.
I will start by saying I appreciate all the information that users have made available on the forum. However I am drowning in choices....
With time I will be able to make informed choices....
Currently I am a DE Razor kind of guy and contemplating making the jump into the straight razor world.
-I am patient and like doing things right the first time.
-I typically research a significant purchase for months before making the purchase.
-I enjoy classic luxuries.. I live comfortably but I am also frugal.

I ask for your expert opinion:
When purchasing a straight razor, should I acquire a beginner razor then when comfortable move up to a more desirable purchase...or could I just make the jump to purchase one can use and live with for many years...?

Thank you
