I am new to this and I'm still not exactly sure what I should be looking for.

I found this razor/strop combo on etsy for $41. I'm wondering if anyone could help me out with their opinion/knowledge about this blade/company. Any information is a great help and is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dalton
I wouldn't began to buy IMHO :hmmm:
I've never heard of that brand before and the price seems very low - too good to be true in fact. IMO run away from this fancy letter opener and look elsewhere....
That's not a razor, it's whats called RSO (Razor Shaped Object) and will in best case serve as a fancy letter opener.
You should rather take a look in the BST section, there you will find proper razors that are truly shave ready.
Its what you think it is worth. In my opinion its not. Best thing is to buy a known brand from a reputable dealer. Try the classifieds on this site; straight razor designs or others. Listen to the suggestions on this site. There are many wise individuals here.
Don't do it. Watch the classifieds on here, you will see plenty of quality razors in the 50 to 80 dollar range that are shave ready and will last a lifetime of shaving.
Not so fast....the handle is made from 'optimum plastic!' The description is textbook smoke and mirrors. They have thrown in as many buzzwords as possible to blind the unsuspecting buyer.
+1 on the classifieds. There are several in there now in the $40-$60 range...
+1 to what everyone has said. I am a recovering victim of thinking it's too good to be true and bought something similar when I started straight razor shaving. I have since matured enough to know how gullible I can be and run rapidly from any mention of "what a deal this is".
Whoever is selling that is breaking Etsy's rules, which are that it either has to be 1970's or older or at least partially handmade by the seller.
