I MUST have this razor...

[Hungryboxerdog]

Though I have yet to master shaving with a straight razor, I would like to splurge just a bit and buy a "fancy" razor. I justify that idea by knowing it will outlive me if I take care of it and could be handed down as an heirloom if indeed "fancy" and unique(ish).

I love the looks of this razor and especially like the idea of having that 7/8 blade to contend with my coarse beard.

I must have this!


However, I don't hear a whole lot about this French brand that still makes straights. And though I think the aesthetics of the olivewood is the cat's meow, I don't know how well this handle material will hold up after years of use. Will the water repelling treatment eventually wear off? Can it be reapplied?

You all have been a great help, thanks!

(Oh, by the way... of the image on the blade, I recognize the ram, but is the opposing character an angry dog or something?)
