What was the first straight razor that you purchased?

This, of course, is a simple question, but I think it'll procure the ends which I've tried to meet: making the decision on which first straight razor I should purchase. I've not found a definitive guide as to direct me to which particular one a beginner should purchase, although from looking at the data, 5/8's and 6/8's are a reasonable starting point, and there seem to be a large number of suggestions on buying used. I think my difficulty is pertaining to brands: Dovo? TI? Dubl Duck? (does brand even matter?)

I suppose in addition to the first querry, if you could maybe explain what compelled you to make that particular purchase?

Thanks in advance!
