Hi.
I might be interested in buying this razor but there are some things I would like to ask questions on since I am a beginner. I would like to ask some questions to the many experienced users on here. Thank you very much in advance. Is red stamina considered fake wood and does it feel like wood or plastic-like? I am looking for scales that feel natural like my Dovo Forestal. Is the blade shorter than most other 6/8 razors and is the razor balanced? Also, not just on this razor but on others as well, if I wipe off the gold wash on razors like the dovo forestal and this, will there be an etching on the blade left over still? Lastly, I heard thiers issard changed their metal recently for a better high carbon blade. Is that true and if so will this model have them? Thanks again guys.
