But all my razors have been honed by kenrup..I don't think I'd try and sell one "Shave ready" if I honed it

I did get out Lynn's video and went though all the directions with the Henckels yesterday. It shaves OK, it was what Lynn called "overhoned" when I got it.

Today was shave 3 with the "new" Henckels 72 from altima55 and I'm happy to say that it is an outstanding shaver. Sometimes I've noticed that particular razors get better after the second stropping/shaving. Or maybe I just get more used to the way a razor handles. Either way I'm very happy because it shaves as well as the new Friodur I bought months ago and had professionally honed.

Like many of us I'm sure, I watch Altima55's razors on Ebay. Many times that guy is loving life for some of the prices his razors bring. I agree, it's good to see quality razors like the ones he consistently lists.

My only beef with his listings is that I don't feel he fully discloses whether or not particular razors are RESTORED (re-pinned, scale swapped?, reground? etc). Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's something that could and some probably would say should be asked in a message to him in a given listing, but I don't feel that way. I want full disclosure in a listing up front.

I'm not saying I think he's up to no good by any stretch; for minty razors, there is a difference between an original razor and a re-pinned or restored razor value wise.
