That being said, I don't know what a RSO is, but OP did say he paid his razor $499, which is, IMHO quite pricey for anything not high end
Beautiful is important, but when all is said and done, you will always be faithful to a good shaver while a bad one may detter you from ever trying again. Judge with your skin, not your eyes.

I have lakefront property of sale cheap in Arizona USA. Send me money for a deposit wink wink.
The truth is without images and answers to the basic questions asked of you.
You are in a boat with no paddles.
Do as the senior members here have told you first nicely, then bluntly.
You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink.
Everyone on this site WANTS to help, follow their order of operation and you will be sucessful ... Dont and you will lose time, money and your mind.

I think you should check with the local person from your town - chances are they know how competent the honing at that local shop is. If he doesn't perhaps others on the Slovenian forum do.
It is best to get hands on help and in this hobby patience tends to be rewarded.
But ultimately it is your razor, your face, and your money so it is up to you how you want to go about it. Do keep us posted on the progress, though.BobH likes this.

It's the same when you are stupid.

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.
