Very nice score! I’ve been trying for a while to get an Escher or a thuri in auctions but they always get out of the price I’m willing to pay. I’ve been searching the wild while traveling for work too, but yet to see anything of quality there. Make sure to watch the videos by Glen and Lynn before putting your razors to a stone, they are very informative and watch the hand and wrist movements as they are very important. Good luck on your honing journey.
