    Default buying first straight razor

    I'm looking to buy my first real striaght razor. I bought a Kreigar in my ignorance, soon after I found that they are less that decent when it comes to holding an edge. so I have a few questions

    Is it possible to find a good shave ready straight razor for less that $30? (inc shipping) (I'm a college student and on a very strict budget)

    What are some good names that are consistantly good?

    What are some tell tale signs that I'm being played?

    lastly is pitting a huge problem if its not close to the blade?

    here are 3 razors I'm looking to purchase but know not much about insite?
    WESTER BROS. GERMAN STRAIGHT RAZOR & COMES SHAVE READY - eBay (item 160281818889 end time Sep-26-08 17:45:00 PDT)

    VINTAGE JOSEPH ELLIOT'E STRAIGHT RAZOR - eBay (item 230292430225 end time Sep-24-08 16:15:00 PDT)

    GEORGE IBBERSON - OLD VINTAGE STRAIGHT SHAVING RAZOR - eBay (item 140267232648 end time Sep-23-08 18:33:00 PDT)

    the first and last are the ones I am most interested in. Thanks in advance
