The Merkur was a decent starter for me. I ended up with a Gillette Fatboy and haven’t looked back. I think it ran me like $65-ish US buying it on eBay. I hardly shave at all anymore, but I can still get a good shave out of it on the occasions I need it. I think I have a Feather blade in it at the moment, but I prefer the Astra Platinum.

Edit: apparently spelling “Feather” is difficult
