    I tried posting a link, but it won't let me. Here is what I got from Lee's Safety Razors:

    Merkur 34c Heavy Duty Safety Razor,
    Vulfix 2233 Super Badger Shaving Brush,
    Chrome Shaving Stand,
    Derby razors,
    Trumpers Lime shave cream

    I paid $135

    I ordered it before I found this board. Any good? Did I overpay? I also got a stypic pencil. Just curious what I have in store for me. My dad says I'll get nicks fairly frequently.

    Welcome!

    I don't think it's overpriced at all, that sounds like a good deal!

    You won't get nicks if you pay attention to preparation and take it gently!

    Looks like a great setup. Let us know what you think of the razor,blades, brush and cream.

    How does the price sound though? I want to know if this dealer is reasonably priced so I know whether or not to return there in the future.

    Thanks for the replies! Any advice for a beginner? I've watched a few videos on youtube...

    Sounds like a good setup to me! One of my razors is a Merkur 34C and I only use Derby's, so I'm biased. Welcome!

    Lee's Safety Razors is generally considered as a very good dealer, reasonable prices and excellent service, so you are lucky to have found him on the first try!
