I'm a couple of months in now and I've only just worked up to 2xWTG and one XTG ( Across(X) The Grain ) The only time I tried ATG was sore! But hey I get the closest, most comfortable shaves I've ever had so...
If you are trying to do it on the cheap Victor, I have a Lord Razor (LP1822), the one with the Merkur style head. You could have a go with it and then pass it on when/if you get something better. Its a bit like the poor man's Merkur 38C and a good one to start with, not too aggressive with a nice long handle.

I'm assuming you are in the UK Victor if not I might have to ask for postage.
