Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me in regards to purchasing my 1st razor. I have read through the site and taken everything into consideration. However, at the time of looking cannot find any vintage razors for purchase, but yet again would not want to ruin them through misuse. I was browsing through one of the retailer sites and came across this Thiers-Issard starter kit a starter kit produced by thiers-issard. Now i was wondering if this was worth the purchase at GBP168. I realise that the majority of the stuff included in the bundle will not be top-notch quality however it comes with:

Jaguar 6/8 razor, ready-to-use
Thiers-Issard shaving brush
Stainless steel bowl with soap and lid
Thiers-Issard travel strop & strop paste
Thiers-Issard large alum lock in case

Would this be a good choice to get me started into the world of straight shaving. Any feedback would be welcome in this regard.

Regards

Rich
