    To be honest, the photos are so dark and muddy I'm not sure how it looks....
    Try and take some phots not using flash, use some soft window light, or take them outside.

    Default Adjusted photos

    I adjusted the exposer for those who thought the others to dark.

    Looks nice.
    If you grind the blade just a bit thinner near the edge after heat treating, the bevel will be much smaller, and the razor will be much easier to hone.

    Like a dream. The weight will take some getting used to but it should live up to it's purpose.
