Also, when you do get one you'll want it to be shave ready. This means different things in different circles. To some, even manufacturers, it means they have run it over a wheel but not hand honed it. There is quite a difference. If you don't buy one new, as suggested, check the BST (buy ,sell, trade) section here. There are a number of good vendors here who have good razors at good prices and you can be assured they are truly shave ready.
