I suppose I'm looking for what may be called a starter razor. I've been wanting to try this for a while, so if anyone has any extras they'd be willing to sell reasonably I'm wanting to try it out before I drop a significant amount of cash.
I have this http://www.razorandbrush.com/gunmetal.html It's a modern Chinese made safety razor. It had good reviews over on the Badger and Blade forum a couple of years ago. It works fine but isn't aggressive enough for me. I've only used it a couple of times. If you're interested I could send it to you with a few different packs of blades to try out for $20 shipped. PM me if you're interested. Thanks, sam
