Years ago I tried a cheap no-name disposable straight razor; I ended up in emerg.! I'm ready to try again. I've been researching so much that I'm now lost! What qualities or specs. should my first straight razor have? Money is an issue. Also what to look for in an entry level hone and strop (I realize that I need a shave ready razor but after a few uses, I'll be on my own)?

Thanks.
