Hey everyone, i'm a somewhat new member to the forums. I've been reading alot, and lurking in the surroundings, but only recently starting contributing.

I'm a DE shaver, who has been interested in Straight Edge shaving since before i started with a DE, but wasn't brave enough to jump straight into the SE world. I'm in an selection poor environment, meaning there are virtually no selection for any wet shaving products in my area, used or new.

I was lucky enough to win last month's second prize, which included a nice Straight Razor. I am not looking for a strop for it( whoever said that wet shaving would save you money must have been drunk ).

Here is what my criteria are:
  • entry level (not too expensive)
  • minimal maintenance ( i have 3 kids under 5)
  • easily enough available ( shipping won't cost an insane amount)


My usual supplier for wet shaving stuff is Fendrihan, Classic Wet Shaving Store, they have a good selection, but I have NO IDEA what i should be looking for, or what the differences are.

You guys are the best references i figured i could find, so what would you suggest. I'm fine from ordering from elsewhere, if the shipping doesn't exceed the price difference by too much.

It doesn't need to be new, if used, i would still want it in good condition.

thanks in advance.
