Heya,
Let me just say this forum is an awesome resource. I mentioned off hand that having a straight razor would be kind of a cool experiment last November. My lovely wife decided to get me a Dovo Shavette for Christmas, plus a brush and cream. So I checked out this and other forums and watched some videos and have been using the Shavette for the majority of my shaves unless I'm really in a hurry.
The wife was surprised at how much I got into it, spending a lot of time learning about razors on this and other forums and window shopping different razors online - so she recently found an antique razor on Etsy and gave it to me as a gift. I was a little nervous when I found out about it after reading the warnings in here about buying razors on line and being able to identify their quality and legitimacy as a razor and not just a knife, especially for beginners. So I came on here and looked in the library to see if I could find it. I couldn't find it exactly, but close enough to know it's authentic. It needs to be honed by somebody with more experience than me I think, it's not shave ready, but she sure is gorgeous.
5/8" Full Concave Wade & Butcher with a mother of pearl handle. There's a bit of tarnish and the mother of pearl is cracked in a couple of places but still holds.
