Several month ago I decided to try my hand at straight razor shaving. Bought a couple Gold Dollars had them sent from China and sharpened them myself. After watching several youtube videos built up the courage to shave and it actually turned out quite enjoyable. Drew some blood here and there but that part of the fun right? So know that I've messed around with some dirt cheap razors, I have the hankering to own something much nicer. My budget is roughly $300, would like to keep it there, but wouldn't mind going up to $400 if there was something really nice. Thier-Issard razors have caught my eye, but most store have limited stock or boring designs.
What's the opinion - worth spending that kind of money on Thiers Issard or should I save up for a custom, or something else? I've thought about vintage, but honestly it's dizzying and I have no desire at this point to redo scales etc. Mostly interested in eye candy.
