    My "test shave" is one stroke on my upper lip. If it is ready I know immediately.

    This is a kind and great gift for a friend.

    Yea, pretty much one stroke and you know, If not look at the edge with magnification and back to the finish hone.

    If it passes, wipe down with a 10 percent bleach solution rinse and re-strop.

    The shave is the final and really the only test, that matters.

    Nice gift…

    Test shave away. I gave a friend a razor that was one of my best and sharpest and he barely ever uses it now. I wish I would have given him something less expensive now since it just sits most of the time. BOTH of those razors you posted pictures of look top notch to me. I would be more than happy with either.
    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one
