I can't believe that this was almost 10 years ago. The razor has mostly sat while i shaved with a more modern stainless razor, then I grew a beard for a few years. Recently went with a a naked face again and decided to pull this old bad boy out. rehoned on a naniwa 8 k then 12 k and then went 20k and stropped. this old wedge shaves great, I think my beard likes the rigidity of blades like this. Glenn did a good job.
