Any recommendations on an inexpensive but decent straight razor? And I'd guess I'd need a strop and honing stone also? I've been SE/DE wetshaving and want to give a straight razor a try...

Don't know if it's bad form to tout another forum, but this is REALLY the best place to go to learn about straight razors.You won't need a hone for a while if you get your razor pro-honed and strop correctly.You should get a month or so of shaves and by then you will know if straight shaving is for you and you won't have spent the money for a hone.
