So yeah, where's a place that I can buy a straight razor? I have no idea.

They wouldn't sell enough to make it worth it for them.

I think, like rifles in the UK, they're the kind of thing that have been pushed underground out of any readily available source, needing to be ordered.

I've seen them in Target around Christmas in one of those cheapo gift set things they sell. It did not appear to be a high quality product.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

On the internet.

Also, don't buy a cheapo razor for $10. Trust me, the blade will be too thick, and won't hold an edge well, and you won't be able to shave with it.

oh god dammit, and I bet even those ones are expensive as hell.

 

[Mr. Underson]

eBay. Get a cheap one with disposable blades to start with. If you prefer the straight razor, buy a proper one after you run through the first pack of razors.

Yes, the cheap end of the market's eradicated through this process. Unlike the US, you don't get shitty rifles, for example, since it's not worth their time to sell them. Citing Air rifles as a general point, other places where they're prominent you can buy cheap turds but here the worst you'll get is very good.

I see them as a little vinyl-hipstery though. Straight razors are the ones with the big fuck-off blade at the end, yeah? they were replaced by another kind for a reason, they're fucking dangerous. There's this transitional type blade which is supposed to beat both the super-old ones and the gillette 18-blade type. The blade itself lasts ages like a straight razor, and the blade itself is replaced like a modern one.

I lol'd.

But yeah. Try some beauty parlors that carry men's products, maybe even some pawn shops. Or just ask a barber.

 

[UmJammerSully]

Why do you want a straight razor anyway?

 

[Coffinshaker]

got a wicked one off ebay for super cheap! I'd go there first.

hey theres a shop in my town, just off mainstreet, that sells knives and only knives. pocket knives, machetes, steak knives, hunting knives, combat knives, yard blades, box cutters, commemorative blades, wallhanger swords, battle ready swords, and old school strait razors.

Spoiler: Oh, no reason.

OT: Have to agree with guy I quoted. There's no real reason to get one. First off, they're dangerous, sharp, and you're putting them near your neck. Second, supposedly they are a pain to keep a proper edge on without a bit of practice. And I have no third reason. There's a reason they're not used anymore.

Oh, it's not that I didn't believe you. It's just the thought of a simple shaving blade being sold among blades that are used to carve and cleave meat amused me. You know, in a Sweeny Todd sort of way.
