Literally my entire shaving experience in life had been: disposables, electric clippers, then straight razors.Welcome to Badger & Blade!
Well, your first logical step for a beginners DE razor, is going to obviously be a Merkur 34C. So get yourself one of those, pickup a pack of Gillette Nacets, Astra's, or Derby blades, and begin your introduction into wet shaving grasshopper.
Well, if you like all things sharp, you should include a mower blade in your collection. Don't forget, you need one that is rusty and vintage, and you need a brand new shinny one, hang them on your wall.
Plenty of lawnmower blades in my garage. One of those pieces or steel that i always save because "I'll find a use for it". It is an illness of most people into blacksmithing, saving metal you will never use.
I have plenty of vintage straights, rusty, worn, chipped in various stages of restoration. No shinny new ones to hang on the wall. I do have a shiny new blade from Duluth trading company which is perhaps the worse straight ever made but that is in a drawer not on the wall.
