Honed what I'm pretty sure is my oldest razor, this one needed to wait for calipers and again for the battery for them (turns out Canada customs got super picky about batteries lately so my aliexpress ones didn't make it). Reason being that the spine seemed awful narrow and indeed it was, took two layers of tape to get the bevel angle in range. Kept the scales for now, 400 then 1k sanding and some neatsfoot makes them presentable, might polish a bit further but mainly just wanted to clean it up a bit. Finished on my ozuku koppa after the Naniwa 10k.

The edge held up through the shave, seems like the steel's kept its temper. Works great, though that toe takes some getting used to. The curve is kinda handy in some spots actually.

Apparently it's almost 200 years old?
