So I was playing around on eBay a few second ago looking at straight razors (still hadn't broken down and bought one) when I came across:
dubl duck GOLDEDGE STRAIGHT RAZOR & COMES SHAVE READY - eBay (item 160393247892 end time Jan-15-10 17:00:09 PST)

I don't know why but I wanted it. So I bid and won. Anyway, this will be my first razor; is it ok that the blade has been shortened? Was this a good deal? Did I get myself into something I shouldn't have? Please help...I'm a bit queezy.
