    Nice Save! It's always nice to see a razor saved from the grave!

    Have you honed it? If so how's it shave???

    nice raising up from the dead ... but isn't that point a bit to pointy, I guess you wouldn't loose too much if you took some off?

    it looks more aggressive than it is. the tip is very slightly rounded. the amount from dragging the tip lightly against the side of the norton 4k a few times. I'll probably have to do it each time I hone it, but that won't be too often.
