Help me chose my first straight razor
Hello everybody.
I'm a happy DE user right now but I would like to try also a straight razor. Because I'm new in this area and of course, I don't know yet how to honing/stropping the blade, I am wondering if it is a good idea to buy a brand new straight razor or an old one.
From my point of view, there are two options:
- new C135 steel - for example 6/8 Le Dandy from Thiers Issard (165 USD) - Le Dandy
- historical steel - something made with Sheffield steel - much more cheaper, probably less than half - Straight Razor KROPP.Sheffield. | eBay
any advice ?
