yea i'm thinking about a naniwa 12k stone, for cutlery i'm sure it's overkill, but why not.
but along with that i might have to get an entire sink setup for my bench stones.
oh yea i have a strop, just an old belt actually hanging off my oven door handle, i'll probably also get into stropping with compounds soon enough so i'll need dedicated strops.
I have been using a straight razor for a year and here's what I can tell you based on my experience:
1. Getting a cheap straight razor to test/practice can be good, as long as it is well sharpened. I bought a very good quality straight razor, but since it was my first time using one and having only seen some youtube video for the technique, my first shave has been hard. But the seller decided to give me a cheap chinese razor that he honed himself for me to get used to it and after a few shaves I went back to my good razor and never regretted my decision after that.
2. The stuff that you should buy if you get into straight razor are: The razor, a badger, a wetshaving soap, a preshave oil, a strop and some oil to keep the razor in good shape. You will also need a piece of balsa wood with some chromium oxide paste. For the honing stone, wait for the need for it. I bought one and still have not used it yet after a year since the chromium oxide has been enough for now (but my razor is really good at keeping an edge). I also recommend getting an alum block (I use it after the shave and it replace the aftershave expect for the perfume). You will also need a stitching pencil since there's a learning curve and you will cut yourself from time to time. Nothing bad, but enough to appreciate it.
3. Be mentally ready to have to relearn how to shave. It's one of the most fun aspect of it, but you must be ready to spend more time shaving while learning and having some less good shaves at first. But the hardest part is only the first weeks. From my experience, after a month I was doing ok, after 3 I was starting to do a second pass. Now I am comfortable with 2 pass and it's enough for me. Maybe someday I'll go for the 3 pass, but I don't feel the need for it.
4. Using a straight razor is FUN, SATISFYING, gives you an awesome shave (only when you get your technique right), and does not take much more time than shaving with other means once used to it. I am happy to have made the move and I would recommend it to anyone that has the desire to try it.
