Welcome to SRP. Take a look through our Classifieds section for your first razor. Beware of cheap razors as they are mostly razor shaped knives or vintage razors past their prime. Look for vintage razors from Sheffield which may contain the 'England' stamp if made after 1891, Solingen Germany or Sweden. Mis-shaped razors or razors with lots of pitting and/or black staining may shave well but you should get a good blade for your first razor. There are a few online shops that sell new and shave ready/sharpen straight razors. Be sure the razor is shave ready and not just factory honed. Straight Razor Designs would be my first choice followed by Vintage Blades LLC and Classic Shaving. There are a lot of other choices that can supply straight razors but they are choices to consider only after you know what you are looking for. Learning to shave with a straight razor is challenging enough that you don't need to be using a sub par razor on top of it. Good luck, enjoy your jpurney into straight shaving and let us know if you have any questions.
