It sounded to me like you were asking for a golden 10 as a short cut to learning from experience. What I personally like in a razor you may not. For example I have a Friodur and like how it shaves while other members do not like how a stainless edge feels on their face. Me I don't care as I will use either stainless or carbon blades. I like a 5/8 to 6/8 sized blade but plenty of others like larger and smaller sizes. I do have some larger and smaller sized blades but have found the size range I prefer. That and more go into making up a great shaver for a particular person but may not be to your liking. Some have a preference for a particular type of grind. Me, again I am not fussy and will use near wedges to extra hollow ground razors. It is just too difficult for me to recommend a particular razor to somebody with the sole given criteria being a price range without knowing other preferences. There are a ton of great shavers in your price criteria. That is why the best I can say is to buy well known brands to minimize the risk of a dud.
