    Default First straight, need advice

    I have been DE shaving for the last 6 months and have decided to try a straight razor.
    I had my mind set on a Thiers-Issard 6/8 historic Spartacus Dreadnought point with blond horn scales, but then read about Ralf Aust. Found a great looking 6/8 RA on his website with horn scales that is available in both Spanish and American point (to be honest not to fond of the look of the round point).
    I want to buy a nice quality straight, that is a decent beginner shaver.
    Would one of these be a good purchase, any other recommendations?

    Not many replies here...
    Oh well, I have been reading up on reviews and finally took the plunge.
    A 6/8 Ralf Aust has been ordered. Spanish point, Rosewood scales and with the serations.
    Now a long waite to receive it (intereseting how one can spend weeks over end to analyze and then 2 weeks of waiting for delivery is almost unbearable).
