My first thread here so please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong section.

Well... I came across this razor yesterday and told my partner that I would love to shave with something like it one day.

I use a DE at the moment and have been thinking of getting into straight shaving. This morning after I got back from the gym my partner told me that she had a surprise for me.

She had ordered the razor

Now just had a few questions, would it be suitable for a newbie? Should I just get a cheaper one to start and use it once I know what I am doing?

I love the look of the razor and the history & age behind it. I am a happy man today
