I see you are in the Toronto area. I bought my first new straight razor from Phil at Classic Edge Shaving (Google his website) when he was in Hamilton years ago. He is still in business and sells a complete beginner straight razor starter kit with razor, bench strop, brush, shaving cream and razor oil for a reasonable price. The added advantage is that Phil will professionally hone the razor before shipping so you know it will be shave ready. He also has some instructional videos on his website.

Happy shaving.
