Possible first straight - buyers advice

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?

Henckels are good razors and that one seems to be in good shape. You will, of course, have to get it sharpened.

That is an amazing deal. I'll give you $50 for it.

(NOS of that razor sell for $150ish, don't sell it to me, I'm being a smartass).
It looks like pretty good shape too

Allright, thanks! The ad is for 2 razors together but he'll sell separatly, the other one is a brand I've never heard of, and google doesn't seem to know it either. The current highest offer is 27$ for the 2, so I don't think it'll be that expensive for just one! (and they don't seem to know it's a quality razor)

What is the other brand? Might be a worthwhile investment.

This is the only information I have about it, the condition doesn't seem to be as good as the other one.

Yeah, I don't know the brand but that wouldn't worry me, looks European to me. But the condition would make me pass on it too (unless it's only an ~5$ difference in price, then may as well get it).

I don't think the seller knows about any of the brands, so he'll probably regard them as equal in price, apart from the condition.

Definitely buy the Friodur. They are sweet shavers, and that is a great price for one.
