Hello, Ralph:

Welcome to Straight Razor Place.

Anytime is a good time to take up straight razor shaving. Obviously your time has come. Good for you, and we're glad you've joined us.

That razor you intend to buy from Amazon is a good starter razor. Is it shave ready? If it comes with the factory edge only, most gentlemen here will tell you that it is not shave ready and must be sent out to a professional to hone.

Unless, of course, you have experience with honing straight razors and can do it yourself.

Regards,
Obie
