Hey All,

I'm a newbie and I'm giving up on electric shavers. Like all newbies, I'm looking for the first razor. My local cutlery shop sells an inexpensive introductory razor for $18. The brand is Myco. It is stainless steel 5/8 full hollow.

Of course the shop person said it was "shave-ready" when I mentioned honing. She said some people like them to sharpen it further.

Does anyone have experience with this brand, I can't find them online (big worry)? Would getting a very inexpensive entry-level razor like this be a big mistake? Is there a step up from price range other than the vintage razors? I read that Tony Miller offered a razor but didn't see one on his site.

I'm not a cheap bastard, but the razor isn't the only aspect of the shave kit, the accoutriments add up quickly. In other words, I'm not a collector so it's all about function right now. Anyone aware of a nice new razor in the $30 to $60 range that is truly shave-ready?
