Welcome to SRP. A rule of thumb I was taught when I got into collecting pocket knives 40 years ago is that if a maker didn't think enough of his blades to put his name on it he must not be very proud of his work.

If you go to the SRP Wiki here you'll find a beginner's section with razors to avoid and others that are recommended. Having a razor honed by an expert is essential to successful shaving IME. Take a look at the classifieds and you will find straight razors for sale and in member's services members who offer honing and restoration.
