Badger Shave

Where to buy double edged safety razor for men’s shaving + accessories for it.?
I looked around at several local cosmetic stores, but nobody had any. I turned to online, and they cost upwards of $40 for just the razor (I’m looking for a badger brush/cream (?)/splash (?) as well)
Does anyone know where I can find one online (preferably cheaper….) or if not, just a trustworthy site online with the products I’m looking for?
http://www.leesrazors.com/safetyRazors.h…
This site has safety razors starting at 26 dollars. Good qaulity ones at that.
As far as a starter brush, is there a local Crabtree and Evelyn store near you, they have badger brushes (what you want, the synthetics are cheaper but not that useful) starting at $30 — which is the cheapest I have found for a badger.
As for creams and soaps, again Crabtree makes some good stuff in the 25 – 28 dollar range. Nodstrom sells high end creams as well in the 20 – 30 range.
Bottom line is, wait until you can buy the good stuff, I’m not talking about a ton of money, some high end brushes can cost 200 – 300 dollars alone. With everything I showed you, you could be set up for 75 – 85 dollars.
Also, here is a tutorial on double edge shaving http://www.classicshaving.com/articles/a…
read it, esp. if you have never used one, they are MUCH different than a Mach 3, or Fushion, and esp. electrics. Good luck, send me an e-mail if you need more info!
