So, using Ironsidegnr's coticule, I did my best to hone my new blade! It passed the HHT on the majority of the blade! I had to use my wife's very fine CURLY hair to do the test which made it fairly difficult but still worked.
Did a 3 pass shave with NO nicks thanks to everyone's tips and techniques they've shared with me. My face is as smooth as a new born's arse.
I'll be bringing the blade to Ironsidegnr's place sometime this week to get his much more knowledgeable opinion on the sharpness of the blade but i'm pretty happy with the shave I got from this 90 year old razor!!!
