Did you Sharpie the edge of the razor to ensure it was evenly hitting the hone?

Nothing like Sheffield steel in my opinion.

To this day, it amazes me to hold and use something that was made during the time Charles Dickens wrote.

Great looking W&B, love my W&B's, quickly became my favourite razor after joining here an unbelievable 7 years ago, time flies.

Enjoy and great job :-)
