I have been here for a while, and really wanted to get into straight razors, BUT I guess I need more experience and doing it progressive, so I got this SET http://www.classicshaving.com/catalog/item/522942/283737.htm It is the VISION safe and I have added to it some nice after shave and so on What d...

ead, DO NOT get a stainless steel straight razor as your first razor. I cannot put it more clearly than this. By all means get someone else to hone it for you, but even so, the stainless edge will only very rarely be as good as a carbon steel edge. When you learn to hone for yourself, you will find...

Yep I see
amm well that is a "hard" decision
What do you guys have and why?

Oh I am guy who take cares of his "tools"

What should I do?

Will it take time to learn using it?
How good is it for a shaving? I have heard people say it is to sharp, what does they mean?
Also
Will I cut myself a lot? I don't won't to have scars
