Depends on what you mean by inexpensive. If you don't already have a brush, soap and a strop you'll need those too not just a razor. Are you willing to go used rather than new?

If you are not sure you will stick with there are places where you can get very usable but not pretty razors and strops. There are reasonably usable boar brushes in drug stores for 15-20. It is not necessary to start with all top of the line gear, but we often wind up there.

Try whipped dog. About the cheapest. Not the prettiest but the cheapest.

Deskman,
You need to consider four elements to start: shave ready razor, strop, brush and soap. Then determine your budget and we can proceed with the shopping list. By the way, welcome to Straight Razor Place.

you might also consider a disposable though it has a different feel

To some inexpensive might mean a couple hundred bucks and to others it might mean forty bucks or less. Let us know your budget and we'll fix you up.
