    it depends entirely on the condition - contact the person you are considering sending to and they'll be able to tell you and give you a quote.

    Sounds good... actually found someone in the classifieds up here in Canada so just contacted him. Figured be easier for shipping and quicker to keep in the same Country.

    If the edge is fine, then that razor should do you just fine. Send it off to a pro for honing and you should get many great shaves out of it.

    I'd add a caution about combining the ideas of "cheap" with "starter." As I learned teaching guitar many years ago, a cheap item is cruel on the beginner. The beginner needs everything to be just right. A poor instrument will never work right in a beginner's hands. By contrast, an expert can often get decent results from an inferior tool.

    That said, you can certainly do better than a new razor price $100+, but don't compromise on the quality of the steel or the first honing.

    Couldn't agree more Lawson, a bad start could put you off for life especially if it is likely to cause perminent injuryat least a razor with a pedigree is likely to set you off in the right direction.
    I started with a new dovo and although it wasn't shave ready out of the tin it was a reasonable example of what I could expect from SR shaving.
    After a few weeks RAD started and I moved on to a shave ready vintage razor
