The key to getting started is to make certain you get a "shave ready" razor. If you order something from SRD it will be shave ready, and most of the razors from the classifieds are shave ready. If you have not already, read the Wiki section for some great info.
Thanks for the advice. I have been pouring over the wiki and other posts here for information. I even watch mantic59's videos for some helpful tips. I have been looking at the member classifieds and will be making a purchase within the next month or so. Just as long as I can get something in the 6/8 range and under $60 or so. I look forward to sharing my experiences here.
