Forseti Steel Throat Cutter Handmade Damascus Steel Straight Razor – Traditional Wet Shave Tool with Olive Wood Handle

The steel is so far quite good but did not come ready to shave with, it required a solid hour of rezoning and stopping before it could passably shave. The polymer washers that allow the blade to pivot are subpar and offset so the blade wiggles and leans left. The screws that hold the scales in place came broken and I had to replace them to keep the whole razor from falling apart, I plan to replace the washers with a better fitting bronze phosphor set. The handle in fact is not "solid wood" but a subpar composite micarta with a misaligned grain pattern and poor polish. The Damascus steel isn't half bad but trusts easily without an oil coat.
