You know, I've been frequenting the forums during my downtime in the workweek, and I have to say, I can't seem to find any thread that blatantly says:

Hey New Guys, Here's a list of Great Intro Razors!

Anyone have any suggestions? Obviously a newbie won't buy a high-end damascus steel one, and shouldn't buy a "high carbon, Beauty & Barber" blade from eBay (my bad...), so what are some great suggestions?

I've been looking on the forums here, but I don't really know what to keep my eyes peeled for.

So, to the pros, maybe some suggestions of price ranges, things to watch for, and brands that are good for newbies...think you have some ideas?
