I can offer this from my own experience- I just started straight razoring last month. To avoid spending a lot on something I may not stick with, I ordered Amazon.com: Parker SR1 Stainless Steel Straight Edge Razor and 5 Shark Super Stainless blades: Health & Personal Care $20 didn't seem bad to invest while still unsure. I love it. I will eventually find a 'real' razor, but this is working for now, and quite well. I have hair under my neck which grows in several directions as well! It's a pain, but I'm getting used to it.

Man, lots of info and welcomes, thank you to everyone. I found an old razor locally for $60 that I'm going to pick up and get honed. The guy said it's a WW2 era Mulcato. In the pictures he sent me it looks pretty good. The history is spotty though as he got it from his neighbor who said her husband came home with it from WW2. Has the box and everything. I don't know a lot about the brand other than what I've read here, but I figure it couldn't hurt and $60 seemed cheap to me for a razor. I like antiques anyway.vPic attached:

Looks like a decent vintage razor. Pick a pro honer from the classified's and put that old guy back to work!

Actually I have a local barber that will hone it. He's getting up there in age, but everyone says he's pretty good.

As long as he still uses a straight either for himself or customers, then by all means use him...have him to give you a shave with it afterwards too!!
