Chaps,
May I gently draw your attention to this thread:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...azor-what.html (yes, shameless plug for my own rambling thoughts...). I think the term "best" may be quite misleading because, as you will see in this thread, definitions of "good" vary widely.
Just for the record, I own both a
http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...6-8-black.html (thanks, Lynn!), and a
http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...her-loewe.html. Given the choice between the two of them, I would, without any hesitation, go for the Bismarck. Which goes to show how differently we judge the characteristics of a razor.
So, coming back to my initial reply to the original poster's question, I think that recommendations for a price range covering basically every razor available in the market are pretty much useless, unless you specify what characteristics you are looking for in particular. Which, incidentally, the original poster never did.
