Until now I have been using a dovo straight razor with the disposable blade. I would like to step up to a real straight razor though. Can anyone explain how I should choose my first straight razor? I want something that isnt too expensive, but will last and will still be useful later on when I buy more, better razors.

I just started looking at Dovo's on classicshaving (http://www.classicshaving.com/page/page/522940.htm) and there are so many different ones. What are the differences to look for between all these razors? It seems like for any given prices there are tons of different blades that are seemingly the same. Also, aside from classicshaving and billy's blades are there any other good websites to look at?

Thanks, Jordan
