    Beautiful. I love the blade profile. Stabilizers are evil!

    Just got an email
    My job tomorrow is to get up, have some coffee and hone razors. I will have them in the mail by the time the Post Office closes at 4:30 P.M. and you should receive your very sharp razor by Tuesday.
    You know, I realize it's work for these guys, but as I sit here at my desk in an office building, I feel like he's rubbing it in that that's his job.

    Gorgeous razor. Congrats! If it shaves half as good as it looks you're set.

    Just received my razor - it is one sweet looking piece of kit. I'll get some pictures up this evening when I get home. As for honing, I'm not sure I've had a razor this sharp; it pops arm hairs off above the skin like I've never seen. The real test will be tonight when I put it to skin.

    The only real way to know if it needs honing is to shave with it. I did not like the edge that came with my Friodor. My offer to hone it for you stands.

    I have come to the realization that I suck at taking razor photos, but as promised




    The shave was fantastic; thick pillow of MWF & a splash of Clubman for good measure.
