    Yea, saw those posts and then everyone seemed to go off in a Hart beat. Just thought I would bring it up again. I am curious too.

    I want to know how this turned out. 600$ for something with a bulky "handle" sounds very odd, and not like a razor.

    I'm surprised. The guys at blade forums always brag about how great they can hone razors.

    The blade, box, case and paper say it's Heart the handle is not original. I will stay away from any knife shops for now. Im picking out one for regular use with dispozable blades. This is a pretty expansive sport, this is the reason Im sort of reluctant to use this one for anything other than eye candy.

    I hope they know razors...I wouldn't use a knife/sword guy to work on my razors UNLESS he's done a bunch before. They are very different than other sharp edges.

    As long as you do not abuse it and maintain it properly there is no reason that with daily use 100 years from now your razor should look any different. Hart razors are made of O1 steel, which is fairly generic high carbon tool steel. It will rust quickly if you don't make sure there is no moisture on it after your shave.
    The bottom line is that shaving with it is not a problem, only improper care would be.

    For $600 you could've bought a much better decoration, so I'd suggest that you try to get a bit more out of what you paid for.
