So I've been thinking about getting a straight razor for some time now and have finally decided to go ahead with it. I've been looking around and like what I see with Dovo and their Renaissance and Bismarck blades. Both of which are a bit on the pricey side (for a college student graduating in a few days), and since it would be my first razor I'm wondering if it might be a better decision to buy something cheaper that is still of good quality. Any suggestions? I've looked through the classifieds but am not well versed enough to make the decision on my own.

Words of wisdom? Ideas?
