Well, if you go vintage (the best way to start) you can snag one for about 30 dollars. Add in a cheap leather strop and brush, along with a decent shave soap, and total start up is about 75 bucks. After that though, you are set for quite a while.
I have everything besides the leather strop and a knife. So shouldn't be that expensive then. I googled it and saw new knives for.. stupid high prices
