OK.
The brand is virtual
I do not know if you can.
If not sorry.
I've included a link to the auction:
Royal UK - SHAVING STRAIGHT CUT THROAT RAZOR - R - eBay (item 320588557296 end time Oct-10-10 09:05:29 PDT)
The only requirement at the beginning is a carbon steel

Give your $23 to a charity, it will be a better use of it. A new razor for that price including shipping might be good for buttering your bread.
I say no, don't buy that razor

Get a razor from the classifieds on this site, mate. I just had a look and there are a couple there for around $50. You'd be safer to do that than to risk and ebay find.
Which is your first language?

It's rubbish. Follow the advice given so far & do not waste your money on that.
You'll learn nothing about shaving & may even be put off the whole experience altogether.
Welcome to the site!

Hello, Tomsky:
If I may suggest, since you are a newcomer to the straight razor, please stay off eBay. Buy your first razors from the Classified here or from any of the vendors listed at SRP. You may explore eBay later when you have more experienced with razors. The razor in the photo is a mystery, as I have never heard of the brand. Perhaps one of our razor experts will shed light on its origin.
Regards,
Obie

That's far more like you should be aiming for. Very good. Don't forget a strop.

My experience has shown me that most razors are carbon steel unless the seller specifically says that its stainless steel. If you want stainless (I love stainless) I would stick to Dovo Inox or the Double Duck both of which are stainless.
Wow I never knew the Google Translator could translate into such great English. I am going to have to use that more.
