Looking for an expert opinion on this razor that I just bought on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=200029045652

I paid $42, and got it primarily to practice honing and stropping....

How badly did I get taken? (It's OK, I'm a big boy - I'll take my medicine if I did...) I know it's a lot for a practice rig, especially since you can't discern the condition of the blade (or the scales) from the photo.

I was actually going to ask for input from those in the know before I pulled the trigger, but what can I say - I got caught up in the moment! At least learning the hard way is still learning, right...?

OMG... This is how RAD starts, isn't it?!?
