Top 10 Straight Brands to look for???
Hey All,
I'm feelin some real information overload with all the options out there and I was wondering if there is a list of top brand names to look out for on Ebay or out and about etc. ? If there isn't can we create one?
I know it would be useful for me as I'm getting more and more into str8's. Thanks!
Some affordable good razors.
Loueedacat's list includes a lot of expensive, prestige brands. I'm no expert, but here are some reasonably priced razors I've got off ebay that, after a bit (sometimes a lot) of work have proven their mettle.
