I've always fancied a razor made from ZDP 189, that as an extremely high carbon content.

lol, thanks. I am very happy with it. It was actually very affordable (approx. 80 dollars) and what I heard about VG10 steel that's a steal.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but usually when you see "pocket knife" scales along with the "affordable" label it is typical Pakistani junk, what we call a RSO (razor shaped object). Mostly found on ebay or Amazon, they usually sit next to the ads for $50 "Damascus" razors.
Congrats on the shave, though I am somewhat curious how the edge will hold up for subsequent shaves.Catrentshaving likes this.

Wood double copper head handle razor , is , free shipping-inRazor from Beauty & Health on Aliexpress.com
Looks nice, hope it works out well. I don't know the company but I'm guessing the quality is fine, if perhaps variable. If you got a good one, don't worry about the naysayers.
I'm waiting for my first stainless (CTS-XHP) razor myself. Keeping my fingers crossed.
