Firstly, hello!
I have decided to venture into the world of straight shaving and am currently in the process of looking for a suitable starter razor. I don't want to outlay a whole lot of cash as i am a student, and i want to be sure i will enjoy straight shaving before committing to an expensive razor.
I have found a razor for sale on a local auction site that looks ok, but i am certainly no expert. The razor is a 'Kropp' and is made of sheffield steel, but it has certainly seen some wear. The blade edge doesn't appear completely flat and has a slight smile toward the end. Is that ok?
The razor is listed here- CUT THROAT RAZOR BEGINNER'S SET for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand
Here is a pic of the blade

Worth buying?
Thanks!
