Well, actually there's been conflicting results on this razor (Double Arrow, if I recall correctly). Some have seen the metal to be so poor it won't hold an edge, while others compare it favourably to another inexpensive razor, a Wapienica or Wapi (which is a helluva razor). All that being said, even if you luck out and the razor's steel is good, it will still have to be honed by a honemeister to make it shave ready (despite what it says, it's not - please read the stickies in the newbies forum).

Good luck, and as Nenad said, ask lots of questions, are read everything on this forum that you can (including the archives and library).
