true... but even in motorcycle training they always tell you to get the best bike you can possibly afford as your first motorcycle... at least thats what the book i read said to do... A: so you dont end up with a hunk of junk thats breaking down on you on the road, and B: so even when you become an experienced rider, you can still see the feasibility in riding it...
i wouldnt buy a zowada razor for my first blade... but id like to have a mildly priced, but attractive blade to start with so i dont get overly bored and develop RAD lol

What I would look for if I was looking to buy on Eboy would be a blade that is free of chips and has a good bevel on it and has no corrosion or cracks on it. A little light rust is OK because that can be polished out as long as it isn't deep. Rust near the edge is bad because then you have to hone beyond the rust and since the blade has to be even you have to hone back the whole edge. That could be quite a job. Why look for trouble? They are several guys here like Joe, Tony and Lynn who will sell you a great razor for not much more then your looking to pay. Of course if you only want some old meatchopper then you'll probably have to take your chances on Eboy but check the for sale section here first.
