Saying hi and question about a razor
Hi guy,
I have been looking around for a few days and am very glad that I found this site. I had no clue how much I didn't know until I started reading and you guys have saved me from making a dozen mistakes.
So with what I have learned so far, I ordered a Boker Edelweiss 5/8 in bone handle, as my first razor, from Straight Razor Designs and upgraded to the three inch strap. I am still looking into what else I will need and will read some more before I decide on the rest.
I am taking a vacation starting the 9th and will let my beard grow out a bit on try it out then.
I also have a question about the razor in this post by Mike_ratliff.

The first picture is almost the same but I am referring to the razor in the second picture with the light brown handle. It seems thicker near the handle and more of a wave across the top.
I really like the curvey shape and was wondering what the blade is called? Is Wade & Butcher the only company that made this design?, etc.
I think for my second razor I want one shaped like that and anything you can tell me about it will be a great help.
Thanks again, Donnie
