I've never used a straight razor ever. After watching the 2007 Sweeney Todd movie, I've been interested in starting now.

Although I don't know anything about them, can someone recommend me a decent one to start learning from?

I was thinking about buying the Sweeney Todd replica from amazon (haven enough giftcards to get it for "free") and using a grinding wheel to sharpen it.

Anyone think this is a good idea?
