WTB: Good starter razor

Hello!
I've been lurking here on the forums for some time now, and I've decided to take the plunge. Because I'm a poor grad student, I figured purchasing a DE safety razor on a forum rather than Amazon would save me a couple bucks and support the shaving community. Anyway, I'm looking for a good deal on the whole shebang (i.e., razor, brush, stand, soap holder), or at least a razor and perhaps a blade sampler.

As for razors, I'm not too sure what I need (I'm Asian; therefore, I can't grow a big beard), so I'm open to recommendations.

Cheers!
Ivan
