    I want to echo the advice of buying a quality, inexpensive razor that is well honed. Don't spend a lot of money till you know straight shaving is for you.

    + 1 for this advice. Oh, and wait on the whole honing adventure. Plenty to learn B4 you even consider that side of the equation...IMHO

    Price range is a point of confusion for me... what is considered "inexpensive"? There's a nice looking Ralph Aust over at SRD that comes honed, with a free honing certificate and a strop for under $200. Is that "inexpensive"?

    Personally, I do not think that is "inexpensive", however I do believe that is a good price (better than many other merchants). Additionally, SRD folk will treat you right and answer your questions honestly.
