If you damage a razor you spend $40 on no big deal but if you damage one you spend $100 on then its a big deal. Also at this point you really don't know what you will like so get something middle of the road and later you can go up or down in size and also in grind types.
Thanks for the tip, I just got a razor and strop for only $45!
