Thanked: 190My first razor and strop
I like the 5/8 Dovo Tortoise which was my first fixed straight. Good bang for the buck and it does it all well: looks good, shaves well, and takes an edge well. Its within your price range for a new one.
Most of my razors are full hollow and one is a 1/4 hollow. All shave well and feel/sound a little different, but nothing major. Starting out, stay with the 5/8 or 6/8 as they are easier to handle than the 7/8 or 8/8.
A sharpened blade, good prep, and a decent technique will cut through all hair.
Welcome to SRP and enjoy the learning curve. Although challenging, its exciting!
