    Hummm, SK, eh? Only thing I know of branded SK are ratchets and wrenches!

    Just jerking your G string. A very unique razor.

    Might be a bear to hone.

    I'm more concerned about stropping the thing! Any ideas?

    Luckily it's coming from the seller "shave ready", and I somewhat know the guy. Either way, I have noticed that razors with smiles are slightly easier for me to hone, owing to the flowing motion required.

    While I have smiling blades, I don't have anything grinning this hard!

    An execrated X stroke? I have no experience from which I could draw, Justin.

    You might be on your own here unless Alex can chime in with that super smile he had, but even it was only about half (or less) of this one. That is HUGE!!

    So unique it blow my (what ever is left of it) mind. I'll be watching.

    Very nice! I'm always tempted when I see razors like that at auction...always being the 4 times I've had a chance to bid.

    You know, I think that's a Japanese razor, and it's strange. I've yet to see a gently smiling Japanese razor (in life or in pictures)--either they're poker straight, or THAT. I wonder why?

    Maybe you could follow the directions on sharpening an Ulu. Any members from Barrow, Alaska?

    Wow ! That blade is cool.

    I would love to own that one, although the price point would probably be higher than my personal price point.
