I'm doing the same thing. I'm watching ebay to get a feel for it. As for the "master" Brand, that was one of the brands that the first thread in the newbies corner recommends that you avoid. Unfortunately, I actually have one. I bought a lot of 8 razors and it came with it. Oi, what a box full of junk that was. I was reading somewhere in the forum that masters don't take or keep an edge very well. Also avoid Zeepak. They were the other razors in the lot (This was purchased long before I ran into SRP...they were meant to be gifts). They make macho letter openers, but not much else...no wait, I use them to open new DVDs
