    I just shaved with it. Killer. I love Sheffield steel. I set the bevel with a 1K shapton and then went through various Shapton's,2 coticules and finished with 25 laps on the 30K Shapton. 50 laps on Tony Miller Latigo and it was splitting hairs like crazy.

    I'm always amazed at how well the Sheffield crafted razor's take an edge. I can honestly say I have yet to find one of these old blades that I couldn't get to shave well. Regardless of the grind,provided they weren't completely corroded away-they have honed easier than alot of the current production blades. And to think there were CHILDREN as young as 7 years old working in the industry.

    Get while the gettin' is good-sooner or later they will be gone.
