I've recently got interested in using a straight razor. I've been using the standard multi-blade razors and can't stand them anymore. I've not bought a straight razor yet but have been looking on the classifieds here.

I think once I've researched the forums and learned what I need to do I will love using a straight razor. Any advice on technique and equipment would be awesome. I'm a little overwhelmed on what all I will need. I don't know anyone using a straight razor and need a bit of guidance.
