This is my venture to the straight side of shaving. I've had an Edwin Jagger DE for a couple months and loved it, but I only did it because it was half the cost of a straight razor starter set. Thanks to Christmas, and my lovely mother, I can now join the likes of you. The kit also came with a strop and some Art of Shaving unscented soap from the Art of Shaving store on the Plaza in KCMO. Hence the massive logo on the blade. But enough words, onto the carbon steel porn.
