    I have been using a merkur progress for a little while now and my wife asked me if I wanted a straight razor to add to my arsenal of shaving supplies and of course me being a man I said yes but I don't where to begin

    When I buy my first straight it will be from gemstar customs. Glenn is a member here and always willing to give advice

    Glen at gemstar customs would certainly be a real good starting point....

    Just got my first straight from Glen at Gem Star - great guy to deal with, and very knowledgable about str8 shaving. :)

    Here's the razor I just received - extremely fast shipping as well. You can't go wrong with Glen as the provider of your first str8. PM him and let him know you're looking - gssixgun

    Is that an Imp by Morris Manufacturing or Ludo? I have a couple of Case Imps.

    Nice straight! I have been keeping track of names of people to purchase a shave ready from. Does Glenn have a site or strictly through PM's?
    Nvm found the site.

    Glad you found his site - I used PM to ask what he had available for a beginning Str8 shaver. Great to work with.
