It just arrived!
After over forty years of shaving (though I sported a full beard for most of that time) it's time for my first single-blade DE shave!
My Vintage Razor Starter Kit just arrived from Garry's Sample Shop. It has everything I need to get started. I thought I would post it for fellow newbies that are looking for gear to get started with cheaply or for those guest newbies who are checking out this site. (join the group, it’s worth it!)

Anyway, I’ll assume that the blades Garry shipped (Astra Stainless, Shark Super Stainless) are appropriate for the technique of a newbie. (or lack thereof!)
I also have gotten my hands on other blades listed below. If any of the Shave Den’s braintrust thinks there’s a more appropriate blade among this group, please let me know.
Astra Platinum
Bic Chrome Platinum
Feather Hi-Stainless
Gillette Wilkinson Sword Stainless
Personna Lab
I have an average to light beard growth and average to fine whiskers.
Thanks all!
(also please advise which among you have blood type A+, just in case I need a donor tomorrow morning!)
