Thread: Newbie, just bought my first real razor -- Clauss 11/16

Hello, everyone.

I just purchased my first straight razor yesterday from the classifieds section of this site. Here is a link to the google cache of the listing:
CLAUSS AMERICAN STEEL 11/16 - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

And here is the description:

Shave Ready? Yes

Got it for $65 shipped. I also ordered the Filly strop for $22:
RupRazor - The Filly

and the Van Der Hagen Men's Luxury, Shave Set for $35:
Amazon.com: Van Der Hagen Men's Luxury, Shave Set: Beauty


My total came out to $122 after tax, shipping, etc.


Still waiting for everything to come in, but I'm pretty excited to get started.

Anyway, I was wondering about this razor. From what I've read, it looks like it'll be a good starter, but let me know if I've made a mistake. I was curious as to this specific razor, I've had trouble finding much other information about it, like a model or any specs. Does anybody know where I might be able to find more information about it?

I will post pictures when it comes in.

Regards,
Osman

EDIT: Also, would love to know what year (or range of years) this was from!
