Thanked: 0Thanks for the welcome. I will keep an eye out on the classifieds for something usable.
Gugi, how do you know that I don't know pure junk when I see it or that I can't hone or restore a blade myself with tools I already have? I may not be familiar with straight razor brands or designs, but that does not make me incapable.

ATP... I dont think Gugi was trying to label or judge you, we deal with so many new guys that we try to give the most basic information and guidance assuming you are starting from scratch, sometimes maybe we assume too much, but you will learn to appreciate him as time goes by. He is well respected and deservingly so. WELCOME TO SRP, YOU WILL LOVE THIS PLACE!

Thanked: 199No one is trying to judge you, but when you say ebay is loaded with tarnished junk, it shows that you don't know as much as you think you do.
MOST of the "tarnished junk" that you see on ebay can EASILY be cleaned up, transformind it into a GREAT razor!
Just keep an eye on the classifieds, even go through ALL the pages, because there are some cheaper good razors on there that you could use as your first razor.

$9.99 + shipping, 5 minutes with Roots Soft and 5 minutes on a pasted paddle strop... it shaves beautifully.

Welcome to SRP. I am sure you will find something within your budget here in the classifieds. I purchased my first "Shave ready" razor from a member here for around $45. Best of luck in your new endeavor.
P.S. Feel free to send any "junk" razors my way if shipping cost to the UK are too expensive. Sorry to snake you like that, tat2Ralfy.
