The Bismarck just arrived from Tony Miller... I am posting this to confirm that:
1) The razor arrived QUICKLY and in a great shape. Thank you Tony, top class as always!
2) My honing to date has been good. Tony honed this razor and when it comes to the sharpness, my own honing work is on the par with it. Even though I got to see X's honing work as well, it's always good to compare with others, especially if they have Tony's reputation.

Now my rant is with Canada Customs.

First they opened the the box and probably had their dirty paws all over my new baby. I'll have to take it to Ivana's salon and have it sprayed with Barbiside before I shave with it. Then they charged me a $5 handling fee ON TOP OF MY TAXES!!! First they don't trust the declaration and then they penalize me for their lack of trust even though everything is as declared? They wasted the time that Tony spent disinfecting it after the honing and the time that I will have to spend disinfecting it and then they have the galls to CHARGE ME A FEE for it?! I'm FURIOUS!!!

Edit: I have no issues with paying my duties, but opening my package should be an operating expense for them. Charging for it is a slap in the face!
