If this is the blade you want to stick with, you're probably better off getting a large pack of them. Here's a 100 pack for $15 from a highly rated seller (if you're outside of the US/Canada you'll have to pay an extra $3 shipping)
I don't have any straights that I could let go for that much, but I do have a Tony Miller Latigo strop (all it needs is a string or some twine to attach it to a doorknob or hook) & Dovo pasted strop (pasted with ChromOx & Dovo White) that I could sell you for $20 shipped. [Pics] Let me know if you're interested.
I do have one 37G I am willing to sell. Please PM me with your best offer.
The razor is flawless and in perfect condition. Finish is way better than the 37C that I own too, this is not just a coating color difference to my eyes !

If you're not opposed to buying another Hallows soap, EliteEdge has the Hallows soap/aftershave set still available on Amazon.

It's the one on the left in this photo
I don't know if it's going to be any good, but I do want to check it out.
This guy is willing to ship a slim adjustable worldwide.
Another idea to keep costs down. Send out the kits (if possible) though PayPal using their shipping label generator. If you send via First Class Mail Parcel, they'll get a tracking ID as well.
I think I was trying Personna blades, the common 100-pack you get off Amazon. Personna is middle-of-the-road, but is has a very thick coating on them. I had all 3 blades in there.
​
I probably should have experimented with it some more but after 4 cuts in 1 session I threw in the towel. Plus I had to clean up areas with a regular DE razor. I have odd, goofy face geometry and can't get parts of my face or neck "flat" for shaving, so that's probably a big part of the issue. That and the sensitive skin is a problem as well.
If you've used a straight razor i think you'll be ok with these as they are safer than the straights. Your learning curve will be pretty easy I imagine. For the price I would just get it and try it out. I started with a budget razor like these and it was fine but personally I now use an adjustable https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XGVRQKP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But that is not to say that the adj' is in any way superior. It's a personal preference.
Ha, yeah you got to get the pair for sure to keep up the good looks. Here is the link to the conditioner. https://www.amazon.com/Mens-Organic-Conditioner-strengthening-Powerpacked/dp/B074GZ6P38/ref=sr_1_21_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1522702755&sr=8-21&keywords=Men’s+organic+conditioner
Ps - I went ahead and lowered the price to $1.29 just so you can try it and will need to change it back to the sale price of $7.95 after you complete your purchase.
Thanks much, Frank
I have been using the Perfecto DE razor. This is good for beginners although it took me a while to adjust to using a safety razor.

here try this link i think it ends up being like 4 bucks for the razor when you take the razor blades price off
Sounds like the Hawk should do the trick, i sure do enjoy efficient razors and the SE blades sound really promising. I was debating on the Hawk or a Feather straight that uses SE blades but just went with the Hawk since its easier and never used a straight and wanted to get one before it goes out of stock. I actually really like the stock metal handle that comes with the Rapira, reminds me of the Fatip Retro handle somewhat, for my plastic handle one i use the handle from the RR Old Type since it was crazy mild.
Just curious do you think one of these would be worth getting to learn how to use? Never used a straight but the idea of choosing the angle completely seems nice. https://www.amazon.com/Feather-Folding-Handle-Razor-Black/dp/B008CF6KMC
Not the artist club blades, but not just the ones they provide either. It takes standard injector blades which you can buy online or in a lot of drug stores actually.

If you're looking for a very mild razor I've got a black Weishi I've only used a few times. I can ship it to you with some Derby Extra blades for $8. I don't have it with me to take a picture but here's the exact same one:

My man! Long time no see :-)
Oh, and I had to google it, looks like a dog de-shedding brush or a terrible sex toy.
they are these.
they dont have the blue wrapper like in the photo it is a plain white wrapper. say made in usa and super on them. "comfort coated" on the box.
You didn't list it, but I have this Provence Sante Green Tea aftershave just sitting around. Non-alcoholic, very pleasant green tea smell, but I just don't reach for it much. I've used mine fewer than 5 times. Let me know if you'd be interested.
Is this the tub? If so I can offer a tub of Proraso White. Unused, just put a few drops of water on top to see what it smells like.
Buy a scale. They are very cheap. I bought this one on Amazon for $17 (currently out of stock, will be in stock tomorrow). If you have packages that weigh more than 2kg, you can get one with a higher capacity from the same brand.
You can also just be conservative in your guesses. Before I got my scale, I would just guesstimate how much it weighed based on experience. I tried to be conservative and guess a few extra ounces over what it really was.
