I got suckered into one of those $6 razors when I first got into shaving. I also have one of those tiny strops.

I would avoid buying that unless you want to strop something noncritical in the future.

My razor didn't look as good as that one, but that is by no means an endorsement of that one, either. The razor that I got was of questionable steel content even when I had honed off the bits of it that were out of geometry.

In the end, it was a waste of time. If you want to gamble on razors, gamble on 100 year-old razors where the pictures aren't that great, but the blade appears to be decent (not chipped, full depth, not frowning, etc). You can get those on ebay for $10 with a little patience, and though you may end up throwing some out, you'll likely also have a couple that are great shavers and were put away decades ago in good condition and stored in a dry place.

If you just want to buy one razor that will be a good shaver, and sharp, I'd buy one from someone who is known for selling such things with 100% certainty and a guarantee. If there's a free lunch, I haven't found it. I have (because I don't mind light restoration) found a few "reduced price" lunches, but none of them were without risk.
