Hi all,
Ever since I've started wet shaving, about a year ago, I've been interested in straights, but the cost always stopped me (I'm just a student on low budget). Now today I decided to take look on a local eBay alternative, and found this razor:

After doing a quick search online, these Henckels seem to be pretty good razors. How would this be as a first Straight?
I can't say I really like the look of the scales, but my dad is an experienced carpenter so I might get him to make some new ones. (Plus he is experienced in honing & stropping his chisels)
I think I'll be able to buy this one for 30$ or less, which I think is quite a good deal?
Any opinions on this?
