First off hello and my name is David. I have a question that I hope will not open Pandora's Box. I am looking to buy my first straight and am not sure where to begin as far as size and grind. Let me start by saying that all I will need will be the razor because I have my Grandfather's Illinois 835 stop and "old razor hone". I have decided that I do not want a disposable or one with a square point other than that I am completely lost. I have looked here in the classifieds, whippeddog and several online stores. I do not want to invest a lot of money, less than $75, to start with to decide whether or not I will like it. Any guidance would be of great help.
