Hey guys, I just got my first straight razor from the classifieds section of this wonderful site and I have a few questions as a newbie.

It is a Erik Anton Berg hollow 5/8 straight razor, which the vender says is shave-ready.
(Erik Anton Berg Hollow Shave-Ready Hollow Straight Razor - Straight Razor Place Classifieds)

It is relatively cheap, compared to the cheapest DOVO which is like 80 dollars.

My question is - does anyone know anything about the brand and how good it is? Is this razor specifically a good razor for a beginner? How long should it last with proper care?

Thanks guys
