    Default See any honing challenges for this 4/8?

    I've just received the 4/8 SR pictured below. I've started a separate thread on some challenges I'm having shaving with it. Here, though, I'm just asking whether the bevel "says anything" to the experienced honers. I'm not after anything in particular; but the bevel is sort of complex-looking to me (on one side in particular), as if the blade may require some next-level know-how when it comes time to do some maintenance honing on it. Any thoughts?

    If the attached pics don't show the bevel in a way that's helpful, let me know and I can try to set up some better shots.

    Ummm...ya. That razor is well past it's Best Before Date. Is that a gap between the stabilizer and the edge? You can even see the grind marks in the edge on the pics...not honed properly. Return it and get a proper razor. Sorry to be harsh but I can't believe someone would sell something like this.
