I did start out with a $2.55 Chinese safety razor, then upgraded to a $37 R89. Are you thinking along the lines that I should try it out first to figure out what I want before the investment, or is there actually a risk of damaging the straight razor as a newbie?

Is Larry's $28 flawed razor more along the lines of what you're thinking for a first or where else might I look to purchase?
