Hey STP:

I've been thinking about getting a straight razor for some time now. I came across the blade in the picture at a flea market, but it was missing the scale. I recognized the 'Solingen' stamp and it was in 'good' condition, so I picked it up for $10. There is very little powder rust spots, no pitting, and the edge has a couple very minor nicks; however, the edge is straight.

Does anyone know anything about the quality of this company (Beckher-Otte, Inc) and blade? I've already searched the forums and have not found anything. I was wondering if this is worth restoring, and if so, who would you recommend for honing & a new scale?

Thanks,
Rob
