    Not sure if this attached properly, but this is picture of it. It's the Robert Williams' Purist, for those of you familiar with his work, an absolutely beautiful razor. It must be the process of shipping though as the same issue has occurred twice with the blade being dulled through shipping as the razor doesn't have scales to protect the blade. It has a stand instead, and if the spine was bumped just the right way, it could force the bevel into the side of the stand and potentially dull the edge, which is likely what happened. My honing abilities don't seem to be quite up to par though!

    BTW gssixgun, I recently watched your honing video and was able to get it sharper than it was, but still not quite up to par! Appreciate guys like you posting to help everybody out!

    Ohhh Yeah! Now I feel better! Get with the guys at Josh's barber shop! Good edges come out of there!

    Not that it helps now, but just in case there is a next time for shipping a Kamisori style razor

    ps: Thanks for the heads up that the Honing Vids do some good
