Hi, I just bought a new razor set with a strop for the bf. Both of us don't know much about razors. He wanted a razor for his birthday from vintagestraightrazor but I decided to do some research to see if the company was reputable...and that lead me to this site. And I'm glad I found it! I have a new Ralf Aust set on it's way that I bought from straight razor designs and I got him the DVD so he could learn all about it. It seems really interesting and it makes me want to buy a razor myself, but I don't know if it's worth it since I don't grow much of a mustache or beard. :hmmm:
