Good luck with your Fox. Being new to straight razors you might want to look into sharpening techniques. There is a great write up on the "Scarey Sharp" technique of sharpening Razors , Wood Chisels etc.
I have had excellent results using this technique.

Good luck.

It also said it is made in Soligen Germany.

Anybody know about this co. and their blades? Looks to be a good find although I don't know as I am new to straights.

Any feedback will be much appreciated.
