[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 8059, member: 10"] You need to do several things to get into straight shaving. First go to youtube.com, do a user search for Mantic. Whatch his videos. The safety razor And the the straightrazor stuff. If your still interest afterwards go to straightrazorplace.com and read until your eyes hurt. If still interested aftwards ask the guys over there to point you in the direction of a shave ready straight and a strop. You can spend between 20-30 bucks all the way up to 'Holy Crap' on a razor. I like the off-the-rack stuff Theirs-Issard has but some prefer Dovo, or Vintage/Custom stuff. Strops are the same way, but expect to pay between 40-50 bucks for starters. I prefer the German style paddle strop over the 'oldwest' leather strop, but there again its just preferance. [/QUOTE]
