Hi I just bought my first cut throat razor, a Dovo from ebay. DOVO SATIN FINISH STAINLESS RAZOR - NEW - No Reserve! - eBay (item 390030770450 end time Feb-19-09 10:28:36 PST)


Thought it looked nice but now I'm questioning if I should have paid so much for my first plus I don't have a strop or hone as I'm currently lookin for one that is good and reasonably priced! Did I pay too much and will I need to sanitize/ disinfect it when it arrives as I'm very nervous since it's not sealed. Will it need to be sharpened by a professional as I remember reading somewhere to always pay for the extra service if avalaible? In my case I'll have to send it to some place like classicshaving right? Thanks for any help I'm such a newbie from eh?!

BTW I'm a Canadian with very little facial hair at the moment so I figured it would be good to start now!
