Hello everyone,

I am new to the world of straight razors and realize there are a lot of options. I have worked in the food industry so J A Henckels is a familiar name but what about the rest?
As with anything else, price usually indicates quality. I have done a few searches on Dovo, Filarmonica, Henckels, Dubl Duck and Wade & Butcher. I am seeing different widths, full hollow, extra hollow, half hollow... There are Many options to say the least.
Now, as for me I have shaved with a Mach 3 for years and have recently acquired a Merkur 34C DE razor, Feather blades, a Kent Badger brush and several soaps and AS's. The DE has given me the closest shave I have ever had but still, I want more!
My skin is very sensitive and is irritated easily. I would like to shave on a daily basis using my newly learned wet shaving method but can only shave every few days or so.
It makes sense a sharper blade will have much less resistance, and cause less irritation. So along with a "new" (new to me) razor that is shave ready, I should also purchase a strop.
Now, given the information provided, I would like to hear what razors and strops you guys recommend.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing your feedback!
