How much money do you need to get started? You could spend a whole hell of a lot more than $10 and not get better gear than this setup, 100% made in Turkey:
Yuma razor $2.50
#6 brush $2.50
Arko stick $2.00
assorted blades - a few more bucks. If you get hooked, you can buy a 2-3 year supply of blades for $15-20
OK, my chunk of alum is actually from Thailand. You can get an authentic Turkish barber alum block for just a couple of bucks - probably not a bad option when you see what vendors are charging for them on Amazon and definitely worth a try if you live somewhere without Asian groceries. It may not be pretty, but the performance is absolutely undeniably great! Available from bestshave.net now. Be a man and get over there.
If you get one of these yuma razors be careful to align the blade to be parallel to the top cap. I noticed that there is alot of play in the alignment pins of the razor top cap. To do this load the blade as normal but as you are tightening down on the blade look at the top of the razor head and align the blade by moving the end tabs of the blade into position before final tightening.
