Was wondering if there was a particular razor(s) that you would recommend for a 1st time straight blade shaver. I would like to find one that is ready to shave with and would prefer not to spend a lot of money right off the bat.
Just am afraid of slicing my throat and having to sharpen and hone and all that. I've thought about a Feather but seeing that they are extremely sharp....I should probably start with a traditional blade.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
