+1. Any day of the week. I actually gave out some shave ready gds last time to noobs. Maybe the tide is turning....Doubt it.I've honed mine for four years without touching the stabilizer. I find it no more obstructive than any number of stabilizers on vintages I've owned. Really, I'd hone a factory GD over a random eBay blade any day of the week.
Rescale it and tell them it's a Fil blank that didn't get stamped. Or whatever razors they're trying to sell and as such are the best these days.
