Jacob from Brisbane here, just wanted to say hello. Getting a straight shave done was a bucket list item and I got it done at the start of the year and since then I have been on and off this site reading threads and trying to get informed. While I wouldn't say I received a great shave some parts of my face remained smooth for days, much longer then with my normal razor and I have wanted to buy a straight razor ever since.
Due to the cost it wasn't something that I could just go out and buy however with my birthday looming my lovely wife will be buying me one. And rather than just go out and buy something she knows nothing about ( which normally happens) she asked me for advice on what to get which is why I am here asking for help as I no nothing about straight razors.
She has found this one and I was looking for feedback or alternatives.

What are your thoughts, I normally only shave once per week and tend to get severe shaving rash when I do.
Thanks
Jay
