I've just reached the 1000 post and October 16th is my one year anniversary. I have learned so much this past year. Started with DEs and the last few months been using a straight. I have been overwhelmed by the generosity of the gentleman here so it is time to give back.
Here is what I'm giving away. This is my starter kit that I used when I got into straights. There is a strop kit I bought from Buca, a simple leather strop from a local leather guy, an EJ finest badger brush, a sample of Stirling soap and a Lees Warranted straight. Everything is used but in great shape. The razor isn't a beauty but is solid, tight and was honed by a member here and used just a few times so should be shave ready.(this was my first find in the wild)

This should be everything you need to get started.
So here are the rules:
1. This is for anyone who wants to start shaving with a straight.
And
2. Who doesn't have a straight razor or strop.
That's it. You long time lurkers now have no excuse.
Just say I'm in and why you haven't used a straight yet.
The winner will be announce October 17th.
