Me to wife (truth!): "Does she really need all these Barbie dolls? You only need two to have a conversation. Why so many?"
Wife, not skipping a beat: "It's kinda like your straight razors..."
Today I used my "new" (to me) Heljestrand. A week or so ago, I asked Larry at Whipped Dog about getting my Red Imp honed, and it's a wedge. larry says he doesn't do wedges, but he suggested I contact Bayamontate, so I did. He not only honed my Red Imp for me, when he found out I had this Heljestrand, he insisted I send it to him for honing. The edge on this razor is VERY sharp, and VERY effective. I am now learning that I am still a NEWBIE with a straight razor!
I don't know if you can tell from these pictures or not, but in the first picture, the razor is just as I got it from the antique shop -- the blade was pretty dark. The second picture is what I just took. You can see that Bayamontate has not only honed the razor, he took it upon himself to polish it as well. Great service, and great results.
