Thread: 1st real razor purchase...what should I get?

I would steer clear of Knifecenter . There are better vendors such as Straight Razor Designs , Rupprazor , etc . that will sell you a hand honed , shave ready razor that is in your price range . The Knifecenter is a knife store , and AFAIK they can't hand hone your razor for you , which is important if you don't have the hone , and the know how to hone a straight razor , properly .

you may also want to check out vintagebladesllc.com they have shave ready straights honed by lynn abrams and great prices also. i bought a new dovo perlex from them and it is a great shaver.....
