What is the razor that started it all for your adventure in wet shaving, or RAD. For me it was trying the murker 32c.
Razor that started it all.

1945 Triangle Tech, purchased at a local antique shop (for $5) because I couldn't wait for the Razorock Mission to come in the mail. The Tech is still one of my Top 2, sharing that honor with a Flare Tip SS.
Believe it or not a Lord tech from sally's beauty supply for $3. I still have it but haven't used it in some time.
I think what really started me off on wet shaving wasn't a razor, it was one of those green Van Der Hagen brushes and soap.
Micro Touch One.
Don't judge me!!!!

My wet shaving quest began with an Edwin Jagger DE89.
Thanksgiving, 1960; the stewardess on the United flight gave every man aboard (I was 14) a Gillette 195, a.k.a. the Fatboy. I used it for twenty years, until I stupidly lost it. I kept using a brush and shaving soap. Last year I put an end the The Dark Years of carts, etc., and I bought a Fatboy. Couldn't be happier.
The razor that really started it all for me is one I have still never actually tried, the Bevel razor. Bevel's ads and website got me interested in DE shaving, and the next day I went to Art of Shaving and bought a Muhle (AOS-specific model) as my first DE razor. A couple of Merkurs later and the ATT Kronos R1 ended it all for me.
Feather Popular TTO.
Same for me. The safety razor came later.

Started with an AoS bowl and brush, then 6 months later picked up a merkur 34C
Not going to judge because I have to confess, it was the same for me. Although, I had been wanting a DE razor for quite some time before I saw the MTO at Wal-Mart. I kept it for a couple of months before moving on to better razors.
British Flair Tipped Rocket!
A 1983 Long Handle Super Adjustable Black Beauty my wife gave me in 1990. It was her grandfather's. Still have it and use it every so often.
MTO for me as well I have moved on but still not a bad razor
Probably a Gillette or Schick cart razor - it's been too long ago, and at that point in my life brand or type wasn't important enough for me. 
No idea. In 1973 my dad went out and bought himself a new razor and gave me his old one and told me to go get those scraggly hairs off my chin. It was a Gillette TTO was all I knew about it.
