Thread: altima55's blades: Shave with it or send it to be honed first?

He does excellent honing,his razors usually state that they are shave ready

not us!.... do you need another lemon?

In the past I've bought a couple of his razors. I found them close to being shave ready but they could be improved upon.

I'm not sure if I've had 1 or 2 of his razors, but i found no fault in his honing. For those preferring something a little sharper, you would most likely need a pasted strop to get there.

Thanks to all.

I think I'll get a starter kit from Kenrup and when I'll be able to hone my own razors (read: when I'll have the cash to buy honing material) I'll get some better razors.

Just paid my college semester this morning, it hurts.

I'd say go for it. He used to be a pretty active member in the old days of the forum.
I'd risk it, anyway.
