    I like the blade to be angled back a bit. Imo it's more ergonomic. Especially when combined with a smiling edge. A true 'straight' razor is very un-ergonomic. There aren't too many flat surfaces on a human head.

    As for the quantity... it doesn't spoil
    And now that I am officially running a business, it's better to break even than to make a profit so I tend to order more than I need for the short term.

    Bruno, to my eye the grind looks very nice. How about a shot from the end angled inward a bit?

    No problem. Do you mean looking from the point to the end of the tang, or from the end of the tang looking towards the point?

    I like the 'angle of attack' on the blade.. not perfectly straight with the handle angle...

    Have you shaved with them?

    Just yesterday I testshaved both of them. I shave only once with each razor, to determine if they shave or not. I try not to get attached to anything I make

    That must be a near impossible task! Beautiful beautiful work - as is always the case with your razors!
