Thanks again, I will go with the lower priced kit to start with.

Please please please read this before you go jumping on ebay though..

I would look at buying a shave ready razor from the classifieds. Just about anything you get on ebay will need to be sent out to be honed.

You could even try posting a WTB to see if someone can put together an entire starter kit for you.
