Recently, I decided to put the honing of the problematic warped Dovo on hold, till I get better at honing in general and specifically at rollingX stroke.
In the meanwhile, I started my honing practice on some cheap Wapienica razors which I hunted for some time and finally won on auctions. I happen to get 3 of them, all NOS. One of them is from 1992 with SFK stamp (best quality, no visible faults) and two other are slightly larger ones but without any stamp: one from 1996 (with slightly loose working scales) and the last one from 1998 (with a small chip on the edge seen under the microscope - I'm almost done removing the chip but at 1K it's taking quite much time - spine is taped of course...) I guess the quality control wasn't manufacturer's best side but hey, what can I espect for 8$ each?
Right out of the box they were already covered with some funny smelling & thick engine-like grease!
