Hi,
I recently received a very old straight edge razor from an old family friend.
Sadly it is totally rusted and beyond repair. The idea of shaving with a straight edge has always appealed to me. But, having one in my hand finally has moved me to action.
To this end I would love to start shaving with a straight edge. But, I have no idea where to start. I have looked around on various sites etc...all of them claiming that their razors are the best. I've also seen several complete kits with everything that one might need in their arsenal.
All that being said I would rather have quality pieces in every aspect.
So, my question is: What would be a good starter razor, strop ect?
Thanks!
