Hi Guys
as the heading states I am new to straight razors to the extent that i dont even own one yet. I have been thinking whether it is worth the 'hassle' and i am thinking that yes it is.. Anyway, to the point, i haven't got any kit yet and some seem very expensive, okay i know that the razor could potentially last a lifetime with care but i was wondering if there are any reasonably priced starter kits out there that you could reccomend or even individual items. As you can understand i dont want to spend a lot of money for something that i could possibly not end up using. I currently use a gillette fusion ( ssshhh!!), how does the shaved finish compare with a disosable.
Sorry for the vague questions but i dont really know too much about the specifics so am looking for some time served advice.
Cheers
Justin.
