Thread: QUICK! Is this a good straight razor for a beginner?

Hi,

Just found this on Ebay.de:
Rasiermesser J.A.HELLBERG ESKILSTUNA SWEDEN 42 bei eBay.de: Frisör Barbier (endet 15.11.10 19:47:15 MEZ)

It will end in 1 hour

I Read some good things about Swedish razors.
Is this a good knive to restore and then use?
I am able to shave with both a shavette and a safety razor.
Are the scales wood?


thanks in advance,
Matthijs
