Is this a good straight razor to start with?

indianshaft · Sep 14, 2011

I am looking to purchase my first straight razor. I am exploring my options and came across this deal on ebay. I like the idea of having less maintenance with stainless steel.

Thanks for the help.

Short answer no. That razor aside (poor quality) you will be hard pressed to find a truly shave ready razor on ebay which is essential to learning. Spend a little more and contact Larry at whippeddog.com for one of his starter kits.

I should also add to check the BST here. There have been some real nice razors for sale lately at fair prices.
