Or just a couple? They are all hand-honed and shave-ready. I have a full beard and haven't shaved in three years. 
All but one (third from bottom, right side) are rehab jobs, mostly from Ebay. |

I bought it years ago but never used it. It needs to be sharpened and honed. I have no experience with one either, so that's kept me from getting any work done to it. I've been more than happy using my DE razors all this time. |

Well you all seem like the guys to ask, so here goes.
I would like to try a straight razor but the prospect of spending $150+ on something i may not like to use is not a pleasant one. Have any of you tried or had experience with the straight razors with the replaceable blades? Seems like it might be a little less expensive rout to go to see if i like it or not, and if i do like it then drop the coin on a good razor. |

That is called a shavette.
http://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Stainless-Shavette-Straight-Replaceable/dp/B001GMTKCK They use half of a DE blade. They work well, and are inexpensive. Not quite the same panache as a straight razor, but easy to get into, and no honing, stropping etc. My barber uses one to touch up the back of the neck after a cut. |

I kinda figured it wouldnt be quite the same. But before i drop the coin on a good razor i want to try it out. Just really didnt want to drop a ton of money on a nice razor only to find out that i hate shaving with it 
Thanks! |

Thanks! I bought the same thing at Sally's Beauty supply for $12 |
