Welcome aboard! The Bismarck should be an excellent choice. I love my Dovo Carre which is the same blank, different scales. A good leather strop is important.
I would also recommend reading up on pasted balsa strops. My 50k/100k/200k diamond pasted balsa strops keep most of my straight razor edges extremely sharp without any additional finish honing. I just use a 2"x3"x12" piece of balsa for each strop. (25cmx75cmx300cm)
Enjoy!
