Don't say you weren't warned...Straight Razor shaving takes time to learn, you don't just pick one up and have a bbs shave, maybe after 3 months you will be quite competent, but I think it takes a lot longer to improve your shave, costs can be whatever you want to pay, I have razors I paid £5 for and they shave very well, they ALL are just bits of steel that has been sharpened, ok, some steel is better than others, but a standard new mid range blade will set you back around 200, I've seen blades at 1500 and more, strops again can be a tenner or 300, a good brush can be 200 ar a cheap decent one 20. Maybe this really is not for you, it takes time, patience and cash.
as I don't know if I will be able to do it
He's absolutely loving the attention, believe me. Setting him to ‘Ignore' is highly recommended.Or afford it apparently.
If you are genuine, life is simple. Just stop.

Ok I see thanks for the info, having thought about I don't think it's for me ATM but I do have a desire to you a straight razor,looks very goodStraight Razor shaving takes time to learn, you don't just pick one up and have a bbs shave, maybe after 3 months you will be quite competent, but I think it takes a lot longer to improve your shave, costs can be whatever you want to pay, I have razors I paid £5 for and they shave very well, they ALL are just bits of steel that has been sharpened, ok, some steel is better than others, but a standard new mid range blade will set you back around 200, I've seen blades at 1500 and more, strops again can be a tenner or 300, a good brush can be 200 ar a cheap decent one 20.

That's very helpful thanks so much, I think I will stick to DE and also have one SE thenStraight razors require dedication. Takes much longer to shave with one and sending it out honing every so often is not practical, unless you have somebody local to hone it for you. For that you will need at least two razors...
Especially in the beginning you are more likely to require a touch up often as your technique is subpar...
You also will need a beginners strop that will probably get nicked and eventually you might want a better strop. If I knew better before, I probably would have gone after DE shaving, but now it is too late for me.
If you get a decent shave out of your DE razors, just stick with them.
Ok never really looked into shavettes but the razor I have been tempted by is a feather DX kamrosiOr use a shavette next to your DE
