    That's a beautiful razor and a lucky owner.

    May I inquire when the W & B blades marked for Barbers Use with no other markings were produced? I have a 7/8 (no notch) with the identical markings and don't know how old it is. Thanks!

    Very nice. That Recon Turquoise works really well with the scales.

    Beautiful work as usual. I really like your satin finishes on these blades especially!

    That thing is awesome. Now I'm hankering to go to every antique store in a 150 mile radius of my house to look for razors.

    That is really beautiful. I like the color of the wedge, it makes it "pop".
    I was surprised by the big leap in your honing progression. I thought that would be too big of a jump but since you did it I might have been wrong about that. Is it harder to get a good result that way? Is it advisable to try that out?

    They are Choseras which are incredible polishers and cutters and also stupidly expensive, they are fast and accurate and leave very shallow smooth striations, again not really needed...
    Basically I like them because they do exactly what I want them to do, they do it very well, very accurately, and very fast, but they are truly a waste of money however because the 10k really isn't a "Finisher" you can force it, but it does way better with and actual finisher after the 10k ...

    I love them for me, I don't recommend them all that much for other people, as to the jump I use systems both ways, some like the Naniwa SS (1-3-5-8-10-12) and the Shapton GS (1-2-4-6-8-16-30) I like taking very small little tiny steps all the way through.. Some times I use a 1-4-8, 1-5-8, or 1-3-8 system into a finisher.. I have also done 1k to Finisher and nothing in between so no the 1-5-10 system with those hones is rather easy for me...


    So yeah I love them and use them quite a bit, but No I don't advise them...

    Thank you very much for the interesting post I have seen that the ones who use Choseras are often very satisfied with them. They do cost very much though.
