If you shop the classifieds here at SRP, the brand wont matter because the quality is there no matter what. Sorry about the zeepk burn. But the forum nenbers here have reputations to protect and are not anonymous yahoos out for the quick buck. Check out the classifieds and ask plenty of questions of the seller and other forum members. Youre luck is about to change!

It would be easier and quicker to list the garbage brands rather than the good brands because there are so many of them and so few of the crummy ones.

Sparks, Nevada Police report last night Homer La Fong Died while shaving with his straight razor. His wife reported he was using his Iwasaki Razor and while shaving his neck it just seemed to have a mind of its own and came to life and cut his throat. Subsequent investigation revealed the razor belonged to Toshiro Kawasaki a WWll Kamakazee pilot who was killed when his plane slammed into the USS Yorktown. His last act was to shave with that razor. It is suspected the razor is haunted.

I'd agree with nun2. In addition to knowing you'll get a good razor, it's also a good idea to get a shave ready razor from someone who's a good honer. That way you'll have something to compare to should you start honing, and it removes the "is my razor sharp" question as you begin to work on your technique.
