Hey guys,

I was just wondering if you could tell me about the handles of a razor warping, especially if they're made of wood. I'm thinking about getting this: DOVO Straight Razors It seems that getting the handle wet is inevitable; what are the results?

Also, how does a Damascus steel blade compare? I find it amazing that one can find a relatively cheap blade made of Damascus, like this one N.MIRZA CUSTOM MADE DAMASCUS STEEL STRAIGHT RAZOR/KNIFE - eBay (item 220695066951 end time Dec-10-10 09:22:10 PST) for such a low price ($100 range). Is it usable?
