Do you think I should return it? Reading all these posts are making me feel uneasy about it now and I spent close to $200 on the razor.
I would return it if possible and check the classifieds on this site for a shave ready vintage razor at a much lower price point. You can possibly bring some ammunition from this thread regarding the problems with the razor. I for one think the problems originated with the quality of the razor and were compounded with heavy handed honing. Good Luck
