After much, much research I finally made my choice. I've ordered a Edwin Jagger De89lbl. Many guys seem order something cheap for their first DE. However the degree of monetary difference between this razor and even a bottom of the line razor you can find on Amazon is really very negligible. Amazon list some DE razors that even have received 4 out of 5 star ratings for $10 or under. Selecting dthe Jagger following much deliberation I then found it on a site called soap.com for $34. They had a 20% off promo running which brought the price down to $27.20. The difference in price between a beautiful, finely constructed, prime quality razor and a bottom "starter" razor is less than the price of an inexpensive meal in a restaurant. That's such a pittance for something that one will use daily and will be so important to one's personal appearance and comfort.
I'm currently using a cheapo Barbrasol boar bristle brush and Kiss my face shaving cream in a cup with St. James of London ore-shave oil. What is opinions are out there on the inexpensive Jagger badger brushes. Escali badger brushes, derby blades and Omega shave soap/cream as these are items that I'm considering to order next.
