Thanked: 43I agree with niftyshaving for the most part. If you're unsure about whether or not straights are for you, you may be better off with a DE. You can get a new one for a reasonable price (I would suggest a Merkur or an Edwin Jagger--with the EJ being my preference), or, if you can find an antique shop nearby, you can pick one up for damned cheap (an old Gilette is always a great choice). Then you could pick up a blade sampler to determine what works best on your face.
However, the brush and soap really are the more important thing for you at this point; whether you go shavette, straight, or DE, you're going to need a brush and a decent soap, so that might as well be your first budget item. Don't worry about going expensive--cheap ones will work fine too.
Best of luck.
