What attributes are you looking for beyond 7/8, square point and black scales? Lots of #14’s land in that category and within budget.
I'm not really locked into a specific grind. But the RigaRazors 1/4 hollow may be at the upper edge of the weight scale I was looking for in a blade. Any heavier and it would be totally silent, and closer to a wedge, which I am not really leaning towards.

A "Filarmonica 14" would be incredible, and is also my first choice. But they are near impossible to find in my price range. (Unless a fellow brother happens to have one, and would love to help a fellow straight razor shaver hit his "Nirvana Dream Razor").
